"Mr. Cheng." Chen Hu bowed and said, "What you need is not a subordinate who bends down to please, but a good man who can follow Mr. Cheng to do great things and would rather die than betray."
Cheng Qianfan looked up and down at Chen Hu, who was a little embarrassed, but tried his best to appear loyal and brave.
Then, he turned to look out the window again, and the resident theater troupe of Chunfeng Deyi Building arrived.
Turning his head, he looked at Chen Hu again.
Chen Hu's expression became more respectful.
Cheng Qianfan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
This is a smart guy.
Cheng Qianfan pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit!"
Chen Hu obeyed the order and sat down. He looked at the steak and red wine in front of him and swallowed. However, his posture was very upright, with his hands on his knees, as if he was guarding his identity and ready for orders at any time.
"Eat." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
Chen Hu took a look but couldn't find the chopsticks.
Looking at the knife and fork in front of him, he was slightly stunned. Under the gaze of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', he gritted his teeth, directly picked up the fork, forked the whole steak with force, held it steady with one hand, and started nibbling.
…
"Western food is a foreigner's thing." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Are you used to it?"
As he said that, he picked up his teacup and said, "I have something to do today, so I won't drink. I'll have tea instead of wine and have a drink with you."
Chen Hu quickly stood up, picked up the goblet, clinked it with Mr. Cheng's tea cup, and smiled fearfully and excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
After drinking all the red wine in the glass, Chen Hu cursed in his heart, why is this wine so terrible to drink, but he tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face.
"I'm not used to it when I drink it for the first time." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and pointed at the steak, "Medium-rare steak, medium-rare steak. Our Chinese stomachs are not used to this stuff."
Chen Hu stopped chewing the steak. He didn't know what Mr. Xiao Cheng meant by his words, and whether he could eat the steak or not.
"Eat." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Chen Hu, "Foreigners' stuff, this meal is worth an average person's month's worth of rice."
"Hey, hey." Chen Hu was shocked. He took a bite and suddenly felt that the bloody beef tasted delicious.
"How does it taste?" Cheng Qianfan saw Chen Hu finishing the steak and pointed to the square towel on the table, "Wipe your mouth."
"Eh." Chen Hu picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"Mr. Cheng." He grinned, "I felt bloody at first, but then I heard you said it was so expensive, and I thought it tasted delicious."
Cheng Qianfan burst out laughing, "Foreigners' stuff is just like that. It's just a piece of beef, roasted and eaten. We Chinese have been eating barbecue for thousands of years. Now that we see foreigners eating like this, everyone follows suit. Stinky feet, you’d say they taste delicious!”
Chen Hu didn't know why Mr. Xiao Cheng said this to him. He didn't understand some of it, but he understood some of it and felt that what he said was really reasonable. Or, he didn't know what "reason" meant, so he felt that it was true. right.
Cheng Qianfan smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
…
He motioned Chen Hu to sit down and asked, "Do you know why I'm looking for you today?"
Chen Hu shook his head and said respectfully, "Mr. Cheng said last time that I should go find Officer Li in three months. It's not even three months yet, so I don't know."
"You have something to do." Cheng Qianfan said, "If you survive, just follow me."
Chen Hu fell silent.
Cheng Qianfan said nothing. He crossed his legs and slowly refilled his tea cup, waiting for Chen Hu's answer.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm not afraid of death." Chen Hu raised his head and said, "I'm willing to do it, but I have a request."
"Tell me about it." Cheng Qianfan blew the tea leaves and nodded lightly.
"I want twenty yuan." Chen Hu said, stood up and clasped his hands in his fists, "I have a mother at home. It doesn't matter if I die. I can't starve to death."
"I'll give you fifty dollars." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea, glanced at it, and said calmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. I, Chen Hu, will be yours from now on. I will be on the knife mountain or the frying pan without any ambiguity." Chen Hu knelt down directly and kowtowed heavily.
Cheng Qianfan didn't stop him, he looked at everything with a calm expression.
Chen Hu kowtowed and stood up. He did not sit down again, but stood aside respectfully.
…
"Do you know Wang Kangnian from the Dadao Municipal Police Station?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Chen Hu thought for a while and said in a low voice: "I've heard about this person, and Mr. Cheng, don't deal with him."
"How many people do you have?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"There are five of them. They are all fellow countrymen who came to Shanghai with me to seek life."
"Take the five of them and secretly follow Wang Kangnian." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Oh, I got it." Chen Hu nodded and said, but his heart sank. He had naturally heard of who Wang Kangnian was. If he was following Wang Kangnian, he would most likely lose his life if he was discovered.
He is not afraid of death. What he is thinking about now is the fifty yuan, which is enough for my mother to buy rice and noodles for a long time. What will happen after eating? What should I do if someone robs me of my ocean?
"Follow Wang Kangnian and don't get discovered by him," Cheng Qianfan said.
Hearing this, Chen Hu raised his head and said hesitantly: "Mr. Cheng, I will go alone. My fellow villagers are also older and younger..."
He paused for a moment and continued: "How about you give me a gun and I will help you kill Wang Kangnian."
After saying these words, Chen Hu secretly looked at Mr. Cheng, with a little uneasiness in his eyes.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
After hearing these two sentences, Cheng Qianfan took a deep look at Chen Hu and applauded him.
"Not bad, not bad." Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed unabashed admiration, and he praised: "It's affectionate and righteous, not bad!"
He nodded and said with a smile: "In less than three months, I will ask someone to call you to come over and do something. I really didn't make a mistake."
With that said, Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette case from his body, took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and then pointed at Chen Hu.
Chen Hu understood immediately and looked excited. He took out the match box from his body, took out a match, lit it, and respectfully lit a cigarette for Mr. Cheng.
…
Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette, stuffed the cigarette case into Chen Hu's pocket, and patted him on the shoulder.
"A few of your fellow villagers are worth ten dollars each."
"If Wang Kangnian's people find out, just say he's mine."
"That guy Wang Kangnian doesn't dare to kill you."
"If he really dares to harm my brother, I will avenge you!"
"We did it!" Chen Hu said, "Our lives will belong to Mr. Cheng from now on."
"Follow Wang Kangnian and see where he goes. Don't ask anything else." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"yes."
…
Cheng Qianfan picked up the police hat, patted it, put it on, and asked, "Where are you from?"
"On the way back, we are from Suining." Chen Hu said.
"Which jurisdiction does Suining belong to?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked.
ps: In the last two hours of April, do you still have monthly passes?
