Cheng Mo stood in front of the background wall of the mosaic of the Virgin Mary, and the dim spotlight in the bathroom coated the mottled wall tiles with a strong smell of oil paint, making people feel as if they were under the dome of a church in Europe in a trance.

However, he is not in Europe, but in a top club in a first-tier city in China.

Where you don't believe in Christianity, you can see elements of Christianity everywhere, I don't know if this is a blasphemy and irony.

Cheng Mo didn't continue to listen to how Sister Qing comforted Shen Mengjie, this kind of work let him do it, he could do it better than Sister Qing, it is much easier to persuade people to fall than to persuade people to go up, as long as you push people down the cliff lightly, you have to do your best to pull people up from the bottom of the cliff.

In terms of exploiting the weakness of human nature, human beings themselves are more like demons than demons.

But Cheng Mo is not God, nor is he a messenger sent by God to the world, and now Cheng Mo feels that he is more like an observer, and he will not intervene excessively in the operation of other people's fate, unless that person's fate trajectory will affect him.

The reason why Cheng Mo wants to take care of Shen Mengjie's matter is because if something happens to Shen Mengjie, it may implicate him.

Of course, Shen Mengjie's situation can be said to have part of his reasons, but in the final analysis, the root cause of Shen Mengjie's current situation is her own problem, and Cheng Mo did not intervene for this reason.

Shen Mengjie's biggest problem is the "arrogance" of the head of the Seven Sins Sect. (The Sect of the Seven Sins is not the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Deadly Sins is a translation fallacy, and the Sect here means "terms" and "source", which translates to "the seven sources that cause people to sin", not the "seven" or "seven" sins.) In Catholicism, the Pope is called the Pope, which also means "honor" and "source". So don't get me wrong!)

Cheng Mo actually didn't quite understand why the first sin of the Seven Sins Sect was "arrogance", but according to the scripture explanation, it was because "arrogance" would cause people to be conceited and arrogant, and thus despise God, so he was the head of the Seven Sins Sect.

But in retrospect, it wasn't that simple.

The insight into human weakness contained in ancient texts is not ancient, which is why religion has endured for thousands of years.

Cheng Mo walked out of the bathroom, Shen Mengjie's slightly choked voice was still in his ears, it was hard to imagine that the arrogant and conceited girl in his memory would now sit in such a place, crying helplessly in such a place.

Even if Cheng Mo doesn't like Shen Mengjie, she has to admit that she doesn't have too many bad problems except for the weakness of arrogance. It turns out that there are still a lot of boys who like Shen Mengjie in class (1), and there are many so-called "girlfriends" around her. Probably this kind of family conditions are okay, and the beautiful girls are always surrounded by a group of young boys and girls, who pass small notes during class, and go to the commissary and the bathroom together after class.

Boys and girls form small groups and please each other.

Shen Mengjie, as the class president, also has her own praise and disapproval in the class, and the girls feel that she is selfless, fair and just, counts lateness, misses homework, and does not carry the school emblem.... And so on, this kind of little thing is never emotional.

But the boys felt that Shen Mengjie didn't know how to get along with the mud, she didn't talk about classmates, and she liked to make small reports.

But no matter what, Shen Mengjie is indeed the right-hand man of the head teacher, Mr. Tang, at least (1) the conduct points of the class have never been deducted, organizing cleaning, organizing participation in sports meetings, and organizing art performances..... and other collective activities, Shen Mengjie is the first to take the lead every time.

Although Cheng Mo never participates in group activities, he is neither blind nor deaf, he knows all this very well, he observes everyone in the class silently like an ant.

He remembered that not long after entering the school, a football match was held in the first year of high school, and the football game for high school students did not play for 90 minutes, but for an hour, and the time was after school, the students in class (1) were relatively good at learning, and the football was really not good, and even eleven people were not quite together, so they had to give up, and finally it was Shen Mengjie who called the people from the class basketball team to also go on, so they got together eleven people.

The first (1) and (4) class matches startled the people in class (4), because Shen Mengjie called all the girls in the class to cheer for the football team, Cheng Mo knew how difficult it was, in Changya, where grades are paramount, it is a crime to delay more than an hour of study and tutoring time, but Shen Mengjie actually organized them all, and it is conceivable that she is still quite appealing among girls.

In that game, the football team of class (1) used the strength of breastfeeding, injured and disabled, and defeated class (4) with a brute force and spirit, she was also screaming and jumping, still very much like a normal little girl.

Cheng Mo and Shen Mengjie don't have any deep hatred, as for those insignificant entanglements in the school, he can remember or forget, it depends on his mood.

Cheng Mo thought to himself that if she didn't take the Changya test, maybe she could grow into a tree in her pride, instead of becoming a grass like now.

It's just that the so-called fate is like this..... One wrong step, one wrong step, until you fall into darkness.

However, Cheng Mo didn't intend to watch Shen Mengjie completely sink, he would stretch out one of his fingers and dial the thread of Shen Mengjie's fate.

With Cheng Mo's IQ, it is too easy to speculate why Shen Mengjie would borrow cash loans, there is no doubt that Shen Mengjie told her girlfriends that she won in the final school point gambling, she not only lost, but also lost her girlfriends, according to Shen Mengjie's proud character, she must take the initiative to bear all the losses of her girlfriends as long as her girlfriends complain a few words.

The specific amount is not clear, but as long as it exceeds 40,000 or 50,000, it will definitely exceed Shen Mengjie's affordability, and it can be seen from the last time she participated in Du Leng's "Children's Day Party" that Shen Mengjie is not a person from Du Leng's circle, and the level is still far behind, but there is no doubt that she yearns for that circle.

Arrogant people are always like this, they don't care about how good they are, they care about how good others are better than them, and their happiness does not come from obtaining, but from the fact that they are better than others.

Arrogance is the greatest original sin.

Cheng Mo returned to the main body, he still had two more activation opportunities within 24 hours, so it didn't matter if he was extravagant, he opened his eyes, the lights in the KTV were shining, and the exquisite and elegant furniture was fully illuminated, the table was full of wine glasses, some people were playing dice, some people were chatting, and some people were drinking.....

The private room was more lively than he imagined, Dr. Ma, the big bear and the monkey, the three Sun Dayong's dog legs also came, singing and dancing in the KTV, the private room was filled with the rough voices of the big bear and the monkey, they were singing Wang Banbi's "Blooming Life", singing a little hoarse, howling out of a kind of "fools' blood" that feeling.

And his cousin's face was a little bright red, holding the hand of the girl sitting next to him in a drunken posture, the girl with bare shoulders, with a helpless smile and fine beads of sweat on her face.

Sun Dayong, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Cheng Mo open his eyes, and hurriedly walked over, "Cheng Mo, you are really amazing, you can still sleep so well in this environment!"

Cheng Mo took off his glasses, Sun Dayong, who was sitting next to him, immediately pulled several tissues from the coffee table and handed them over, Cheng Mo said "thank you", and then took a few breaths on the lenses, wiping them and saying: "I've tried sleeping with the symphony on, what is this." ”

Sun Dayong patted Cheng Mo's shoulder affectionately, "Don't be so tall! Come on, sing ..... song."

Cheng Mo waved his hand, "I really won't, besides, you know, I'm not here to sing." ”

"Then what should we do now? Go directly to Shen Mengjie?"

"It's inconvenient for me to go, she can recognize me...."After a pause, Cheng Mo said, "Can you think of a way to shoot a video of Shen Mengjie?"

"What's the use of making a video?" asked Sun Dayong with some suspicion.

According to Article 358 of the Criminal Law, whoever organizes or compels others to sell Y shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; Where minors are organized or compelled to sell Y, a heavier punishment is to be given in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph. ”

"Damn! You remember that!"

"Do you think I will only memorize the school rules?" Cheng Mo said lightly.

Sun Dayong wiped the sweat containing grease on his face, "Cheng Mo, I was really wrong about that incident, I called Dr. Ma, Big Bear and Monkey over to apologize to you, and now we will toast you three cups together!"

Before he had finished speaking, he got up from the couch, waved to the princess of the private room, and shouted, "Bring .....twelve cups," and then he beckoned Dr. Ma, the bear, and the monkey to come over.

Cheng Mo sat on the sofa and didn't move, nor did he speak, he watched Sun Dayong fill the whiskey glasses on the black marble coffee table, a 1.5-liter bottle of Hennessy was not enough, and it took another half bottle to fill the twelve glasses.

Dr. Ma, Big Bear and Monkey all picked up their wine glasses from the coffee table, and said to Cheng Mo one by one, pretending to be arrogant: "Cheng Mo, I can't help it, we really didn't know that you were not in good health at the time, and thought you pretended..."

This face is very similar to a Hong Kong gangster movie in the 90s, the two gangs of people drink reconciliation tea in the teahouse, but Cheng Mo, who is sitting in the main seat, really has no big brother face, let alone domineering side leakage..... Assuming that the spirit of a scholar is also domineering, he has missed a lot just now.

Cheng Mo looked at the spittling Dr. Ma and the three of them inexplicably felt a little funny, probably in the eyes of others, the current scene is as naïve as a child's house, but human beings are such animals that need a sense of ritual, whether it is a political party, a gangster, an ordinary person, or a teenager like them.

Rituals continue throughout each person's life.

Sun Dayong kicked Dr. Ma, who was not very reliable, and took over the words: "Cheng Mo, I know that the punishment for our three glasses of wine is really light.... I don't say a lot about Sun Dayong, in the future in Changya, I will never allow others to touch a finger of you.... If you have anything to do in the future, it will be my Sun Dayong's business, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will guarantee to iron and iron with you!"

After saying that, Sun Dayong dried up the pure foreign wine in the cup in one gulp, and Dr. Ma and the three of them also drank it all.

Sun Dayong put down the cup and was about to drink the second cup, Cheng Mo stretched out his hand to stop him, "Just have an attitude, you don't need to drink the wine, now help me do the right thing first." ”

The other three looked at Sun Dayong and Cheng Mo inexplicably.

Sun Dayong opened his mouth, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Cheng Mo immediately said: "Help me find out what the girl's name is! By the way, help me ask for the WeChat number!"

The other three burst into laughter.

Dr. Ma joked: "Cheng Mo, I didn't see it! I didn't expect you to be so sullen, I really thought you only loved to study! Regarding the aspect of pickling girls, we can communicate more in the future..."

Before Cheng Mo could speak, Sun Dayong slapped Dr. Ma on the back, "You talk a lot of!" ”

——————————————————

More than an hour later, Sun Dayong returned to the VIP518 private room, he sat next to Cheng Mo with brisk steps, and whispered mysteriously: "I'll pass it to you!"

Cheng Mo nodded, Sun Dayong uploaded the two videos to Cheng Mo's mobile phone, and he whispered: "I bought off a young master who has a good relationship with me, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to go to the 666 box to shoot...."

Cheng Mo clicked on the video and saw Shen Mengjie sitting in the middle of the brown sofa, the light was very bright, so the video was very clear, Shen Mengjie was held in her arms by a middle-aged flat-headed man who could be her father, the man was wearing a blue polo shirt, holding the microphone and singing with a smile on the front.

Shen Mengjie shrunk into a ball, like a shivering quail.

Sun Dayong said proudly: "Success?" He remembered that his uncle had told him not to look down on some little people, what janitors, sweepers, drivers, cooks..... Often, these are the people who can play a key role in critical moments.

Usually making more good connections is only good and there is no harm.

How much money does it cost to get a cigarette? How much money does it cost to say a word of respect? How much money does it cost to remember the other person's name and say hello when you meet it? It is these small details that determine your connections, upward is the network, down is also the network.

"How much?" asked Cheng Mo.

"What money is talked about between brothers. Sun Dayong said very humbly, as if he had just done a trivial matter.

"Brothers still have to settle accounts, not to mention that we are not brothers. ”

Sun Dayong immediately put on an expression that you look down on me Sun Dayong like this, "I said Cheng Mo, although my Sun Dayong's conditions are far worse than Fu Yuanzhuo, I am definitely not stingy than him.... Don't take this little thing to heart. ”

Cheng meditated for a moment and said, "Then thank you." ”

Sun Dayong hesitated for a moment, and asked a little crampedly: "I said Cheng Mo, what are you going to do? You don't want to post it on the Internet, do you? This seems a bit too ruthless, right? And the little swan is not so easy to offend..... I heard from my uncle that the background of the little swan is huge!"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't spread it on the Internet, I'll deal with this matter for Du Leng....."

Sun Dayong's expression was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, he gave Cheng Mo a thumbs up, slapped his thigh, and said very excitedly: "Awesome! You smart people really don't pay for your life!"
