Chapter 34 A Day in Little Hong Kong
In the end, I agreed to Yadie's conditions, and I took a part-time job under her with a salary of 50 yuan for each ability I found.
50 yuan sounds like a little less, but piecework is like this, and you can do more if you want to make more.
Don't laugh at me, which man hasn't made a loss-making deal on his sister. Since kindergarten, there have been infatuated children who give their fruits to the white girls in the class, and since elementary school, there have been infatuated teenagers who help their crushes carry schoolbags. I'm more or less paid here, much better than the above-mentioned brothers, although the level of the sister is average......
The key is that I have a task in my body, and my mission also needs to find the supernatural, I didn't know how to carry out this work, for fear that the indiscriminate investigation would attract the attention of the inhuman center and the anomalous person, this time with Yadie as a shield, and the background of the Asian American African Center as a backing, I can act with confidence.
More importantly, I have an indirect relationship with the non-human center, and if it works well, I have a very good chance of coming into contact with Yami, and then further penetrate into the interior of their organization, and it will be more convenient to find the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao at that time.
After establishing a partnership, I made a clichΓ© to Yadie, confirming that she had nothing to do with the Inhuman Center, and that her sister Ami didn't know about her investigating the Paranormal behind her back in order to earn tuition. Yadie said that Yami must not know about this, otherwise he and I will not be able to do it. You can blame me for thinking about this.
I agreed to talk on the phone once a day to exchange information that would help us find the Stranger. So I found a new problem, I haven't had a mobile phone after being in Ability City for so long.
I've been away from the masses for so long that I've forgotten how to take care of my life.
This night at the Spice Girls Ballroom was not only fun, but also had a windfall that made me feel good. The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally, and took Xiao Ou Jinbao to the street, it was time to make this mission journey more exquisite.
In addition to Baozi Street in the center of the town, the development of other areas in Beitai is no less than that of a world-class metropolis. This strange phenomenon is actually easy to analyze, and it must be related to the migration of the supernatural.
Liu Lao Liu said that the supernatural beings in the mirror world have generally achieved higher achievements than ordinary people.
This isn't nonsense, this society doesn't have to worry about the development of technology, not to mention the ability.
Affected by various factors, and with the Heavenly Court side manipulating behind the scenes, all the supernatural beings in the mirror world poured into Beitai. For Beitai, the people with abundant resources are equivalent to investors, active or passive, and their wealth has helped Beitai achieve miraculous rapid development in a short period of time.
As for the reason why Baozi Street has not developed, it is more local, I often listen to those old residents in Beitai talk in the hot girl dance hall these days, which is related to the land occupation.
In fact, many large enterprises have long wanted to develop Baozi Street, and even issued a demolition fee of 100,000 yuan per square meter. This has caught up with the housing prices in the capital, but the attitude of the old residents on Baozi Street is very unified, that is, they are not allowed to demolish, and they can't give any money. The ostensible reason is that Beitai advocates self-reliance, resolutely refuses to be a demolition tyrant who gets rich overnight and has no dreams, and cannot let his descendants become the second generation of demolition without ideas and pursuits.
A group of hooligans talk about their philosophy of life? Not to be too funny, the reason why they refuse to be demolished is actually a more complicated reason.
Today, there are three big companies in Beitai, namely a media company, a non-governmental association and an educational institution.
Two of the three were foreigners, and the educational institution was an old company in Beitai, which was later acquired by outsiders.
They have driven the development of the entire Beitai, and squeezed out weak competitors by monopolistic means, and there has been competition between them for several years, but there is not much disparity in the strength of the three, and no one can defeat anyone, so a three-legged pattern has been formed.
The keen old residents of Beitai saw the greasy doorway here, and knew that if any of these three families wanted to rush out, it was the only way to take the last treasure of Beitai, Baozi Street.
The three-legged stand and restrain each other, which is why there is a stable pattern today, and if one family is dominant, it will definitely not be them, the natives of Beitai, who will benefit. Therefore, they choose to give up their immediate short-term interests, regard Baozi Street as the fixed star among the three wealthy families, always tie their attention, and do not make any promises and compromises, and become a stable profit party in the contact again and again.
I have to give a thumbs up to my fellow countrymen, the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, and these foreign bigwigs must have suffered a lot.
Xiao Ou has been in Beitai for more than a year, and before he met me, he lived by stealing chickens and dogs, in addition to stealing iron at night, he often went to the three development zones in Beitai to find targets and wait for opportunities to commit crimes during the day.
These three development zones belong to the three leading organizations, among which the most prosperous business is my hometown Beitai Township, which has now been renamed Little Hong Kong.
We hailed a taxi, and Xiao Ou sat in the co-pilot and introduced me to Little Hong Kong all the way. Where is the largest shopping mall, where is the largest cultural square, where is the most exclusive residential area, all of them are treasured.
Xiao Ou said excitedly: "Big brother, are you planning to move out of Baozi Street? Then let's buy a suite, I have long wanted to settle in Little Hong Kong." β
Buying a suite? We can't even afford to stay in a hotel suite for a few days.
I said don't swell, you think of buying a house after taking a rental, and if you drink a bottle of drink, you can't get married. The main task of bringing you out today is to buy a mobile phone, and by the way, to see the development of Beitai. Of course, if you really have the conditions in the future, you can consider changing to a comfortable living environment, but it is absolutely unrealistic now, our work is on Baozi Street, if we move here now, we can't stand the commute alone.
Xiao Ou asked the driver to pull us to the largest electronic goods store in Hong Kong, good guys, a place that sells mobile phones, even bigger than the North Taiwan Railway Station. There are more than a dozen floors upstairs and downstairs, and there are only a few brand counters on each floor, which are not crowded like small shopping malls, and they are very tall.
Although the store is large and there are many customers, as soon as we entered, we immediately attracted the attention of all the mobile counters. At first, I didn't know why, why did those people look at us like this? As if there was a lot of hatred, I didn't realize when I looked back at Jinbao that he wasn't wearing that leather robe today, but wearing his favorite casual outfit - oppo inflatable suit.
Jinbao OPPO Xia's name has long spread in the Baozi Street mobile phone market, as long as he appears, all other mobile phone brands of inflatable dolls dare not show their heads, forcing out OPPO, other mobile phone stores are all closed, launched OPPO Xia's entrenched place.
They did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to open a store in Hong Kong, but they didn't expect to be approached by OPPO again today.
Actually, I wanted to explain to them that we were just here to buy a mobile phone, and we didn't want to smash anyone's field, but they didn't think so.
Led by vivo dolls, Huawei, Gionee, BBK and other dolls have gathered, and soon became an army of dolls. The customers in the electronic city didn't know why, and they thought it was a show, so they gave up the onlookers who didn't know the truth of the venue.
The three of us were quickly surrounded. I gritted my teeth and asked Xiao Ou, "How much trouble have you two been causing lately? Why are you so hateful?" β
I know that they go to the mobile phone market to help oppo and other stores with dolls as soon as they have time, and the remuneration they receive also pays me protection money on time, and I can calculate their income from the protection fee.
vivo doll jumped first: "There is nothing to say, we have already let out Baozi Street, and today we will defend the market in small Hong Kong, oppo man, since you don't give us a way to live, don't blame us for breaking the boat! Brothers, go on!"
Without giving me a chance to explain at all, dozens of inflatable dolls rushed towards us with the momentum of hundreds of people.
There was no choice but to take the move, Jinbao covered in front, and Xiao Oze and I should be behind, and we were drowning in the doll pile in an instant.
The inflatable doll's whole body is fluffy and weak, and except for Jinbao's absolute heavyweight that can suppress the opponent, Xiao Ou's attacks and I can't cause any damage to them. But they can lift their feet and step on us, and there is no inflation under their feet, and it hurts to step on them.
Like my dignified savior, how could I be stumped by a group of dolls, passive is only temporary, a little observation of the surrounding environment, and soon found a way to win.
I pulled Jinbao and Xiaoou to the side of the rolling ladder and fought and retreated, the rolling ladder is straight to the second floor of the store, narrow and steep, we retreated to the top, the doll army immediately lost the numerical advantage, can only line up one by one to follow.
Wait to the 2nd floor, Jinbao put on a posture of Mount Tai pressing the top, I and Xiao Ou left and right guarded by the rolling ladder, up a doll was put down by the two of us, Jinbao is a top press, up a down one pressed the top one, after wearing the babydoll clothes the action is very heavy, in the absence of a numerical advantage at all can not struggle, was broken by us one by one.
Soon, the 2nd floor was full of salesmen who were crushed and burst by the rolling ladder, and the only inflatable doll still standing in the entire mall was OPPO Xia himself!
Our victory was met with applause and cheers from the audience, who flocked to the OPPO counter to pay for the battle.
The owner of the OPPO small Hong Kong flagship store received us warmly, he said that he had heard the name of OPPO on Baozi Street for a long time, but he didn't expect to have such a big heart with such a small endorsement fee, and he also ran to small Hong Kong to help them smash the field, and praised us as the underworld of Beitai, ruthless and righteous enough.
As a black second generation, I don't care what hat others give me, I just like it.
The flagship store manager is still very realistic, he signed an endorsement contract with Jinbao on the spot, and in his own words, this place will be covered by us in the future.
They really think of us as the underworld.
After that, he gave us a mobile phone for free, and handled the beautiful number, the number segment of the three of us is different, for the good all 6 2, ducks, more pictograms.
The prosperity of Little Hong Kong intoxicated the young soul, shopping and playing, and before you knew it, it was already night, and it was time to go home.
The taxi pulled us to the edge of Baozi Street and was reluctant to go in, the driver said that this is the industry rule, the car on Baozi Street can run all over Beitai casually, and the taxis in their three major development zones are no problem going back and forth, and they definitely can't enter Baozi Street.
I'm curious, what else? What can you do if you go in?
The taxi driver in Little Hong Kong took a hard puff of his cigarette and said with palpitations: "Their revenge is so terrible, I once accidentally broke a taboo, and as a result, I was chartered by a group of old residents on Baozi Street for half a month, it was the hottest time in Sanfu, they sat in the car and ate roast whole sheep for a week." β
Imagining the scene described by the driver is indeed quite torturous, but it doesn't seem to be particularly scary.
The driver smiled weakly, and tears flashed in the corners of his eyes: "It may be nothing for you, but it's different for me." β
"My father is Indian, so I didn't eat beef since I was a child, and my mother is a Hui, so I didn't eat pork since I was a child, and after that incident, I couldn't even eat mutton, just because I accidentally crossed the line, they forced me to become a vegetarian!"
I said, you can still eat chickens, ducks and geese.
The driver's eyelids jumped: "After the gang ate whole sheep for a week, I complained to them about it, and they picked me up and loosened my teeth, and I couldn't bite the meat......"
