Chapter 1: Flat Street

Next Chapter

It's already December, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the temperature in the ancient city has plummeted, which makes people a little unprepared.

The wet and cold weather in the south is not something that can be resisted by wearing thick clothes, even if you wear a thick down jacket with a tight zipper, you can't stop the biting cold wind from burrowing into the neck.

This has also led to the cancellation of some leisure activities such as after-dinner walks and square dancing, and people would rather stay at home and watch TV than go out into the streets to blow the cold wind.

Therefore, Pingjie, which was originally lively in the middle of the night, suddenly became deserted.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Pingjie was already sparsely populated, and there was not a single passer-by for half an hour, and the shops on the street, except for some restaurants that did supper, were also closed early.

A small supermarket called Endeavour Supermarket is still lit up, and a large job announcement at the door is specially illuminated with colored lights.

In this supermarket with two facades, a total of less than 100 square meters, the supermarket owner Luo Qun returned to the back of the counter with a bag of peanuts in his left hand and a bottle of Wuliangye in his right hand for twelve years, and half-lay down on a very professional gaming chair.

Some people may ask, just such a small supermarket, it has been drinking Wuliangye for 12 years, and the turnover on that day is estimated to be less than a bottle of wine.

There's a reason for that, of course.

Luo Qun is the owner of a small supermarket on the surface, but in fact he is the owner of a large supermarket, three of the thirteen large shopping malls in the ancient city are his, and there are more than a dozen supermarket chains and six buildings to collect rent.

Since his father Luo Endeavor died of cancer in his junior year, he, as the only legal heir, inherited all of Luo Endeavour's estate, and began his retirement early at the age of 23.

Since Luo Endefen's generation, the Luo family has lived in Pingjie, and Luo Qun also grew up in Pingjie.

Pingjie Endeavor Supermarket, as the Longxing place of the Luo family in Pingjie, has an unparalleled status in the hearts of Luo Endeavor and Luo Qun, so after the night shift salesman went home on leave because his mother was seriously ill in his hometown, Luo Qun, the boss who had nothing to do in retirement, simply went into battle in person, anyway, where the game was played.

Of course, it is mainly because it is approaching the end of the year, and it is not too easy to recruit people, otherwise Luo Qun, who is a lazy dog, will definitely not come to the night shift.

Just as Luo Qun sat down and was about to pour himself a glass of wine, a familiar avatar flashed in the voice channel of the computer, and Luo Qun hurriedly put on the headset.

I heard a low, magnetic voice in the headset ring.

"Brother Qun, hurry up, I'll wait for you, hurry up."

"Yo, I specially confirmed this morning that the sun rises in the east, why does Brother Shan go against the laws of nature and don't care for those sisters who lack love."

Luo Qun took a sip of wine and smiled.

"Brother Shan, I've been in the sea for a long time, and occasionally go ashore to breathe and have fun with the people." At that moment, another voice rang out.

"When Xiao Chaozi saw this king, he didn't hurry up and knelt down to ask for Saint Ann." The man named Brother Shan didn't get angry when he heard the teasing of Fa Xiao, but said with a smile.

What replied to him was a foul mouth.

This is called Brother Shan, called Dingjun Mountain, just by listening to the name, you know, it is a military family, the family is either a veteran, or an active soldier, and the rest is on the way to be a soldier, he has won a personal first-class merit and a national sanda championship, and the force value is simply off the charts.

And that little Chaozi calls him Brother Chao, his real name is Chen Chaoqian, that's right, it's not ahead of his time, and it's super rich, according to Brother Chao's father, because the family is too rich, so I hope that Brother Chao can transcend the shackles of money and be a noble person.

These two are Luo Qun's hair small, the birthdays of the three are all within the same month, and they are also neighbors before and after, according to adults, this boy has been born since birth, in addition to sleeping, he mixes together all day long, and even sleeps often sleep together, the three of them are self-styled Pingjie Iron Triangle, brothers gather, invincible.

Brother Shan is the oldest, three days earlier than Brother Chao, and naturally became the boss of this small group, he has grown strong and tall since he was a child, and he is particularly handsome, he is the force and appearance in the Iron Triangle, every time he gets into trouble and is beaten, he is on top, and when he becomes an adult, he goes to be a soldier, two years of compulsory service and three years of non-commissioned officers, a total of five years, now twenty-six years old, and now he is a sanda coach.

Because he is handsome, his temperament is especially popular with women, so he has become a famous sea king nearby, but he won't be out of line.

As for Brother Chao, he is even more of a god, and he needs to focus on it.

In addition to Chen Chaoqian's ordinary appearance and short height of only 169cm, the rest is simply the standard template for a winner in life.

Chao brother and his father started as a small package foreman, and after decades of hard work, he has become one of the top developers in the ancient city, as the only son in the family, it is roughly estimated that he can inherit billions of family property in the future.

And Brother Chao has always been a child of someone else's family in the mouth of an adult since he was a child, with a well-behaved personality, or a scholar, three stages of junior high school, if it weren't for Brother Shan and Luo Qun dragging his feet, Brother Chao didn't want to be separated from them, he jumped a grade to make others doubt life, and finally was admitted to a top medical university, and graduated with a master's degree in four years.

Naturally, Brother Chao became the king of the back pot in the Iron Triangle, because with him in front, adults were reluctant to blame, and they could suffer a lot less.

The rich and talented super brother, since graduating from college, his life has also graduated, a proper winner in life.

As for Luo Qun, say that he is handsome, but he can't compare to Brother Shan, say that he is talented, he graduated from a key university, and he started his retirement early with the inheritance of the inheritance.

As the dog-headed military division of the Iron Triangle, from time to time his brain twitches, he will have some wonderful ideas, such as others blowing up the dung pit with a cannon is very spectacular, and he thinks about whether it will be more spectacular with two kicks, such as when the tomb robbery novel was the hottest, he took the brothers to dig his own ancestral grave, although he was found from the self-made Luoyang shovel and was beaten up in an attempt to dig the ancestral grave, and so on and so on and so forth, all of them were initiated by him, and it was the engine of the three of them.

Because Brother Chao had to go to the hospital on duty at 11 o'clock, the three of them chatted for a while and then began to play games, and broke up on time at 11 o'clock.

Luo Qun drank an average amount of alcohol, drinking was purely boring and enjoyable, so he felt a little drunk after drinking less than two taels of peanuts, so he put away the wine and prepared to take a nap while he was drinking.

At this time, the back door of the small supermarket was suddenly opened, and a pink and cute short-haired girl walked in wearing a sassy police uniform, carrying four thermal boxes in her hands.

"Brother Qun, your mother made me a supper, and I brought some for you."

The girl's name is Xiang Chunmei, she is Luo Qun's neighbor across the wall, a childhood sweetheart who grew up with a bare butt, because women are not allowed in the men's organization, so Xiang Chunmei was not selected for the Pingjie Iron Triangle, and now she is a household registration policeman at the Pingjie Police Station.

"My son is staying up late to watch the store, Wang Meili doesn't care about her son, but she makes you supper, it's better for you to call Wang Meili Mom."

Xiang Chunmei listened to Luo Qun's words, didn't know what she thought, blushed and didn't speak, and opened the thermos boxes one by one.

Luo Qun pursed his lips and looked at the thermos box that had been opened, it was quite rich, a big bowl of white porridge, a small pickle, plus a box of xiaolongbao and a box of dumplings, and suddenly felt hungry.

"Why are you working overtime again today, have you eaten? If you don't eat it, eat it here, I can't eat that much by myself. ”

Seeing that Xiang Chunmei was still wearing a police uniform, she knew that she had just returned from the office.

"There are a lot of police reports today, and the office is too busy, so I'll help, I've eaten in the office, you can eat it quickly, I'll come to collect the thermos box tomorrow morning."

Xiang Chunmei's voice was a little soft.

"Uh-huh, then you can go back to sleep."

Luo Qun snorted and drank porridge and said vaguely.

Xiang Chunmei nodded, and left through the back door again.

Ping Street is an old street, their homes are in the farmhouse behind Ping Street, don't look at the house behind the old street, there are many rich people in Ping Street, different from those old miscellaneous courtyards, the farmhouses here are all five-story courtyards of new rural standards, the neighborhood is united and harmonious, and it is more comfortable to live than a large villa.

While eating, a light flashed outside the glass door of the supermarket, and then a car horn sounded.

Luo Qun hurriedly dropped his chopsticks and put on his down jacket, reflexively smoked a cigarette from the back counter and threw it into a plastic bag, and then took a few bottles of coffee and instant noodles from the shelves, stuffed them in, and walked out the door.

A black Passat was parked opposite at this time, and when he saw Luo Qun coming out, he opened the window to reveal a somewhat thin young man with glasses.

This person is Brother Chao who is going to the hospital on duty.

"Hurry up, it's a bit evil this day, don't let me go of the heater in the car."

Brother Chao was agitated by the cold wind and shivered from the cold.

"Brother Haiwang Mountain is not empty, but you are empty."

Luo Qun handed over the things in his hand, and there were a few familiar insulated boxes on the co-pilot's seat.

"Get out."

Brother Chao scolded, quickly closed the window and left.

Don't look at Brother Chao as the most well-behaved of the three of them, but because he often has to stay up late on duty, he is the first of the three to learn to smoke, and he has the biggest addiction to smoking.

Luo Qun gestured his middle finger to the butt of the car, stuffed his hand into the pocket of the down jacket, shrunk his neck and turned around to go back to the store, but found that a rickety figure was standing in front of the recruitment announcement, as if his eyes were not very good, and he was looking at the content on it closely, and his face was almost on the board.

"I've seen you looking for work in the middle of the night, but it's the first time I've seen you."

Luo Qunha said with a cold smile.

When the man heard Luo Qun's words, he turned around.

Luo Qun glanced at the man up and down by the light, he couldn't guess the specific age, he looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies, but you would feel that he was actually not that old, he was a man who felt very vicissitudes of life when he looked at it, his lips were chapped, his face was full of traces of wind and sun, and his body made him look a little short, wearing a shabby army green cotton coat and a pair of labor protection cotton shoes, which was very in line with the image of migrant workers.

There is a black leather bag on the ground next to him, it looks like a Jianghai brand, the leather on it has fallen off almost one by one, this one was quite popular twenty or thirty years ago, and there is also an extremely huge suitcase, at least two adults should be no problem, Luo Qun estimated that unless it is customized, then this suitcase should be the largest suitcase that can be found on the market, and there are several short wooden stick-like things tightly tied to the handle of the suitcase, I don't know what to use.

However, this person left a deep impression on Luo Qun from the first sight, he had a pair of bright and resolute eyes, as if they were full of stories, so that Luo Qun couldn't help but want to hear what story was behind this man.

Seeing that the man squinted at him and didn't speak, Luo Qun said: "I'm the owner of this supermarket, I'm recruiting, if you want to find a job, come in."
