With the implementation of the policy of opening up and opening the country to welcome visitors from all over the world, many people living in the interior also know through TV or people around them that Xiangjiang is an international metropolis that everyone yearns for.

The exaggerated descriptions of what is full of gold, or the world of flowers, etc., which are full of temptation, have also attracted groups of young people who hope to change their own destiny, and they have poured into Xiangjiang in various ways.

Compared with the early years, as long as you can successfully reach Xiangjiang, you can obtain a residence permit. At present, the Xiangjiang authorities, who are already feeling the pressure of the population, have begun to restrict smuggling, and even adopted a policy of arrest and deportation to control the increase in the number of migrants.

In this case, there are really not many people who can successfully get a residence permit just a few days after coming to Xiangjiang like Liu Daneng. Because of this, many people are forced to make a living and have to try their best to find a job to survive.

As a city famous for its port trade, Xiangjiang naturally has a number of cargo terminals. Freighters that travel back and forth every day also carry a large amount of cargo. In addition to machinery, the wharf also requires a lot of coolies to move goods.

For those young people who finally swam to Xiangjiang, but because they have no residence permit and little education, the only job they can find may be to come to the wharf as a laborer, and earn some hard-earned money by carrying bags and selling coolies.

Xu Zhengdao, who had brought Liu Daneng here earlier, recruited the future working emperor to take care of the company's affairs for himself, and then came to the dock again. In fact, he's been here a few times.

Unlike in the past, when he came over during the day, today Xu Zhengdao appeared here at the dock again as 'Yan Wu'. Seeing the night fall, those laborers who have worked hard all day also start to buy relatively cheap food at the food stalls.

As for going to a restaurant or buying groceries to cook, for many laborers who carry bags, they still find it more affordable and convenient to buy a fast food. By running a fast food business, these fast food vendors at the dock can naturally make a lot of money a year.

Seeing the six young people mixed in the dining crowd, Xu Zhengdao, who had been standing on the side of the night market street for a while, also showed a little smile. Until I saw that the six people had found a food stall, they chose a table relative to the corner and sat down.

Seeing that the oldest young man at the head seemed to discover his existence, Xu Zhengdao did not shy away from walking over and said, "Can you set up a table?" If you don't mind, how about I invite you to this dinner tonight? ”

"This little brother? Do we know each other? ”

"I've never met, but I've heard a little about Mr. Gao's name. Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything, I just want to talk to you. If, after the conversation, Mr. Gao still feels that it is unnecessary, then we should have never met, how about it? ”

The sturdy young man whose surname was said by Xu Zhengdao saw that several of his brothers wanted to stand up, and he also raised his hand to signal that he did not need to be nervous. Staring at Xu Zhengdao, he showed a sharp look and said, "If you want to make friends, should you report home?" ”

"Yan Wu, eighteen years old, unmarried, male, female. Hometown, Kyoto! ”

After saying these words in a playful tone, the young man surnamed Gao continued: "Then I don't know what Mr. Yan is looking for me, why do you have to do it? ”

"Why don't we order food and then wine, and talk while eating and drinking?"

"Good!"

Waiting for the waiter at the food stall to hand over the menu, Xu Zhengdao, who took over the menu, also ordered a few more expensive sea fish and meat dishes. The waiter in charge of recording had a somewhat playful expression.

seemed to see the meaning revealed in the waiter's eyes, Xu Zhengdao didn't say anything and said directly: "In addition to these dishes, send me two barrels of draft beer first." If you don't have enough to drink, wait until later. These, is that enough? ”

"Enough! Sir, please wait a minute, I will arrange for you to place an order immediately. ”

After receiving the five hundred-yuan bills handed by Xu Zhengdao, the waiter's expression instantly became humble and enthusiastic. He was worried before, and he also felt that Mr. Gao's clothes were afraid that he couldn't afford to eat such expensive things.

Mr. Gao, who was sitting next to Xu Zhengdao, could easily see that this young man had a thick stack of banknotes stuffed in his wallet. Judging from the thickness and size of the banknote, the cash in this wallet is at least nearly 10,000 yuan.

Why did such a rich young man suddenly find them?

While waiting for the waiter to serve the food and wine, Xu Zhengdao continued: "Lao Gao, do you feel confused? I'm such a stranger, why did I invite you to drink? Quite simply, I've been watching you for almost a month. ”

"Mr. Yan, we are just coolies at the dock carrying bags and begging for food, shouldn't we be worthy of your attention?"

As a result, to Gao Shanhe's surprise, Xu Zhengdao listened to his words, but said very directly: "Don't you feel condescending? Or, don't you regret it? Also, are you really willing, just stay at the dock to carry bags and sell coolies? ”

Gao Shanhe, who was asked several times, showed a little helplessness in his eyes, but he forced himself to calm down: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

"Words deceive others, but they can't deceive themselves. If you're willing to answer me a few questions, maybe I'll give you what you're looking for. After all, if you come to Xiangjiang with brothers in life and death across the ocean, you shouldn't want to carry a big bag for the rest of your life, right? ”

"You say!"

"Have you ever regretted that under the impulse of anger, you slaughtered those southern monkeys?"

"Who the hell are you? Why do you know this? ”

"Now I'm asking you, not you. Don't feel aggrieved, now you and you are both tigers in Pingyang, and I am not a dog, so I am not here to bully you. Instead, I'm here to give you a chance. ”

Seeing that Xu Zhengdao seemed to know that he had never mentioned it to anyone since he came to Xiangjiang, Gao Shanhe's shock in his heart could be imagined. But he knew that with Xu Zhengdao's connections, it was relatively easy to investigate his identity.

After being silent for a while, Gao Shanhe said a little weakly but firmly: "No regrets!" Never regret it! ”

"Good! Then let me ask again, with your ability, if you accept the invitation of those land snakes, you should not have such a hard time. Even with your ability, it should be easy to easily obtain a large amount of wealth, so why do you have to carry a bag and sell coolies? ”

"Do something, don't do something. Although I am tired of carrying my bag, I am steady. There is some money that cannot be earned, let alone touched. ”

"Okay, last question, you came to Xiangjiang to make money, to change the status quo of poverty in your family. How much money can you make by carrying bags and selling coolies? Also, can I get a residence permit with this job? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Shanhe, who was still proud of his head before, bowed his head in a somewhat depressed mood and said, "I don't know, but it's not likely." Mr. Yan, since you know about me and my brother, can you explain your intentions? ”

Seeing Gao Shanhe take the initiative to ask, Xu Zhengdao suddenly grinned and said, "Drink first, drink to win me, and then you are qualified to ask me questions." If you join forces and you can't drink me, then be my bodyguard, how about it? ”

"Mr. Yan, are you sure? You're going to compare the amount of wine with us? ”

"Yes! Do you think I'm too arrogant? But you still have you, do you dare to gamble? ”

"Just be a bodyguard, and don't do anything else that hurts nature and reason?"

"Am I like that?"

Through verbal blows and stimulation, Gao Shanhe and others finally agreed to this bet. But the beer was not drunk, and after seeing that Xu Zhengdao wanted to bring two bottles of liquor and stuffed one bottle directly, the six people knew that the gamble had not started yet, and they had already lost!
