After starting the car and leaving, Wei Tao noticed that Cao Xiyu next to him was looking at him with some admiration.
"I'm a little panicked when you're like this. We have something to talk about, so don't make eye contact."
Cao Xiyu suddenly smiled, and took the initiative to reach out and grab Wei Tao's right hand holding the gear lever, covering it from top to bottom: "This sudden maturity is a bit heart-warming."
Considering Cao Xiyu's family, maybe since she was a child, or maybe after she was stopped by a senior senior in the first year of junior high school, how could Cao Haiyang not teach her some useful 'knowledge'.
Even though Wei Tao was able to fight back when being attacked and beaten by four or five big men with sticks, Cao Xiyu didn't think he had the courage to deal with a few mischievous people.
What for?
Female companion beside you.
This is not the time to show off your heroism as a man. The most correct way, including when a girl encounters similar things, is not right or wrong, but to get away as quickly as possible.
Once time goes by, those few people have other ideas and will definitely take action. Once they take action, Wei Tao will definitely not be able to take care of Cao Xiyu's safety.
Therefore, in terms of masculinity at this time, unless you are absolutely sure that the other party will be unable to fight back in a short period of time, the wisest thing is not to be impulsive, but to leave quickly.
After returning home in the evening, Cao Xiyu talked about the matter with her mother in a certain showoff. To put it more seriously, she was robbed. In fact, she came here as a teacher. Zhou Min knew very well and had been exposed to similar things more than once. In the past, At the gate of primary and secondary schools, there are always these crooked and naughty people who have no capital to mix in society and only show their value around the school. They don't know enough about the law in their hearts. Is it borrowing to borrow some money to spend? If you look into it carefully, it won't actually hurt anyone, but the consequences that your behavior may bring are beyond your family's ability to bear.
Really, if you spend three hundred, five hundred and twenty thousand, squatting and working on a sewing machine for a few years, at least half of your life will be ruined. There were also parents who came to us and arrested them in the name of the school. They looked at the parents crying and begging for mercy. As parents, how could they really bear to send them in?
"Wei Tao, this kid, is really safe in his work."
Zhiwei sees it.
Some young people may not understand Wei Tao's way of handling things, but for people of Zhou Min's age, they will feel particularly at ease. If you tell him anything, he will listen and he will handle it. , you won’t worry about running something wrong.
By tonight's event, ordinary young people who are ignorant of worldly affairs and have a good reputation would think that Wei Tao is particularly cowardly. With a girlfriend, he can still make people rob him with just a few words. What do you want to say to the other party? Just admit it if you hold a knife or something like that. Just these few crooked and naughty people, you have to be cowardly and give all your money to others.
………………
The next night, Wei Tao didn't find Cao Xiyu. She was about to start school, and several elder relatives began to take turns taking charge. Your family would eat for one day, and my family would eat for one day, so as to connect more with the feelings between relatives.
At the entrance of Songjiang Theater, Zhu Xichun walked around in a circle and followed Wei Tao into the elevator to go to the Internet cafe upstairs.
According to the style of this group of people, if they are worried about something happening, they will hide somewhere else for a day or two at most. Judging from the few people he observed yesterday, it is impossible to say that they can still come to play nearby today.
Liu Lei followed Wei Tao and laughed several times: "What, Taozi, just ask the phone slit below you to help you find it. It only takes a minute. I often play around here, maybe in the Internet cafe." In the hall or something like that, which one of you can call me brother on your mobile phone? What, are you embarrassed?"
Wei Tao rolled his eyes at him: "You guys, you little brats, do you still want me to start a fight?"
"Brother Chun."
"Brother Chun, are you here to surf the Internet?"
"Hey, Brother Tao is here too."
There are many young men who make mobile phone sewing, ranging from 18 to 20 years old. There are also older people who have started a family. They do it as a career. These young people prefer this industry as a way to make money. .
After a long time, I just play near my workplace, in game halls, billiards halls, Internet cafes and the like. Some of them are so excited that they even stay at Communication Street in the morning. They are not the same as the young people who sell goods under DXN. There is no salary, and no one limits them. You can come if you want, and work as much as you want to make more money.
There are very few young people who actually work at the stalls. They can make some money and play for a few days. Only when they run out of money do they want to go back to work.
In this Internet cafe, there are usually some young mobile phone dealers or mobile phone repair apprentices gathered together. Seeing Zhu Xichun looking around for something with his eyes wide open, after saying hello, he also started to follow his gaze and looked around. He saw Wei Tao came, and several people got up. They had a pack of good cigarettes mixed with them today. They quickly handed over the cigarettes and lit them. Didn't they directly say that Brother Tao was okay? The attitude is clear, Brother Tao, please let me know if you have anything to say.
"Network administrator, four points of Yangzhou fried rice, twenty skewers of mutton skewers, and four bottles of beer." As a person stood up and shouted in the inner corner, the red-haired one, Zhu Xichun looked over, Wei Thao saw it too.
The other party must have seen this place, but obviously, he did not recognize the cowardly rich man he met yesterday, more than 1,800 yuan, who stayed overnight last night, slept in the bathhouse during the day, and stayed overnight You can order mutton kebabs and beer.
Seeing Zhu Xichun striding over, Liu Lei hurriedly followed. These young people saw that something seemed to be wrong, so they helped Brother Tao no matter what. There was no hesitation at all, and even a few mobile phones that were not in Wei Tao's system When Xiuzi saw the movement, they all got up one after another.
Everyone in the Internet cafe who was surfing the Internet raised their heads and straightened their backs to watch the excitement, and some even stood up to watch the excitement.
"Shit!" Zhu Xichun has always felt a sense of indebtedness since the incident that happened at the Xianshiguang entrance on Anshun Street.
Da Bozi even left his hometown because of this. After that, he guarded Wei Tao, and he also meant to guard Qiu Bo. Between good brothers, you lead me to make money and let my family make money. Thank you and I won’t say anything else. , I did it, you don’t have to say thank you.
Just go up and kick.
Four people, with non-mainstream hairstyles and colors, absolutely eye-catching.
Sitting in the corner, Zhu Xichun went up and kicked the outermost member of the four people. He even kicked the chair out and bumped into the non-mainstream companion inside.
"I'll wipe it!" He still wanted to resist, but as soon as he stood up, Zhu Xichun's big hand like a cattail leaf slapped the opponent's left face directly with a big mouth. Without any nonsense, he slapped one down and went up to the other three.
Liu Lei has been learning how to do business for more than a year. Liu Dalong has not allowed his son to be as pampered as before. If you don't have that talent, it doesn't matter if you work in a stable job or you are lazy and greedy. I will let you chew on your old age. Don't cause trouble. Stay at home. It's normal to eat, drink and spend some money.
But when you start a business, it's different. You have to learn everything that should be taught to you.
As a second generation, there is nothing wrong with me raising you. If you want to do business, you have to endure the hardships you deserve. I don’t want you to lose all my wealth that I have owned for so many years in one go.
When he was moving around in the wholesale market and working in the store, Liu Dalong also asked Wang Hai to teach him a few tricks. They were not routines, but some 'practical' skills that he might encounter in life. Don't fight when doing business, but it's really tough. When it comes to a fight, you can't back down. How do you respond when someone punches or kicks you? This is what Wang Hai taught him.
Seeing that Zhu Xichun was already taking action, Liu Lei went up and kicked one down, then two and four. In the blink of an eye, it was over.
Zhu Xichun's big fist, powerful and heavy, and his big feet, size 45 shoes, caught up with the ship, kicked him over, and fell down directly. If he hadn't hit the wall and blocked it, the kick would have traveled five or six meters. light.
A fight broke out, and the male network administrator came over to break up the fight. The female network administrator quickly informed the boss, if you young people started scolding each other online and made a fight, and then took them out, how you fight outside has nothing to do with the Internet cafe, but fighting in the Internet cafe is another matter. One thing.
In general Internet cafes, network managers are more than just tools. Some also need to know a certain amount of computer software and hardware maintenance knowledge, and can temporarily handle some computer and network problems. Some need to be more forceful in order to manage the clamor of some young people on the Internet and the arrogance of some people who drink too much.
It is the same in all walks of life. They all need someone at home who can calm down the situation. Otherwise, if you open your business, you will encounter similar troubles, big or small. Some people simply make trouble deliberately because they see you being easy to bully. Sometimes It doesn't need to be a powerful person in the family, being fierce is also a deterrent.
Seeing Zhu Xichun taking action, there were several lively young people in the mobile phone industry, and Brother Tao was standing beside him, so what's the need to say, come on, there's nothing to hesitate about.
"Brother, what's going on? If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Several male network administrators stopped these young people, they were all familiar with each other, and they were still talking in low voices about what was going on. They didn't know, but they just pointed at Wei Tao secretly: "This is the boss of Dexin Communications below."
The boss came, a forty-year-old fat man with a sinister face. He pushed through the crowd and walked in. He could tell who was in charge at a glance. He glanced at Zhu Xichun over there and fixed his eyes on Wei Tao.
"Little brother, if you have something to deal with, what's going on here?"
Wei Tao: "Boss, do you know those people?"
The boss' eyes moved: "I come here often, but I don't know him."
Wei Tao: "That's okay. I'm sorry. If you damaged something, I'll pay you the price."
At this point, the Internet cafe owner has nothing to say.
Over there, Liu Lei went up with a flying kick. In fact, it was Zhu Xichun who was so lethal that he stunned these four young people in a few seconds.
Seeing that he was no match at all, he didn't dare to resist and just covered his head.
Zhu Xichun grabbed Huang Mao's hair and dragged him out, making him scream.
Wei Tao knelt down and looked at the other person: "Do you still know me?"
Shock flashed in the other party's eyes.
Wei Tao nodded: "It's good to know each other, let's go, let's talk outside?"
At this time, the Internet cafe owner couldn't continue to lie and said he didn't know each other. He came forward and asked: "Little brother, what happened? Did they offend you?"
As soon as he spoke in a strong tone, his tone suddenly changed. He saw the mobile phone crack downstairs that he often came to play with. He went directly to help arrest these four little guys. What did they mean by helping? The people who came to arrest people were not Normally you can stop a fight by yourself.
Hearing that these little guys had robbed money and even robbed Brother Tao, the young men were not polite and started to collect money one after another.
Carrying them downstairs, Wei Tao still threatened them and wanted to report to the government office. This frightened them and they begged for mercy. The place where they were beaten no longer hurt. The gang in front of them gave them another beating, which meant they would get the money right away. The four of them scraped together the unspent thirteen hundred yuan in their pockets.
One of them was frightened and said he would call his family and give away the remaining money.
Carrying it downstairs, he was scared. Seeing the four people with runny noses and tears, Wei Tao shook his head and said forget it. Although he was not very old, he felt like he was bullying him no matter what. A child’s sense of déjà vu.
As a result, a special vehicle with flashing lights appeared, and four men in uniforms got out. One of them, Wei Tao, knew him. It was Ma Xin, the 'apprentice' that Gu Changshun brought to Cao Haiyang during the Chinese New Year. Even though he was young, It's just at the grassroots level, but the uniform on the body is a deterrent.
The owner of the Internet cafe also came down. He saw that he thought he was also a young man, and he was so familiar with the people at the yamen. The other party was obviously going to take the four people away, but Wei Tao stopped him. He knew that this was Cao Haiyang. He has spoken. The person who was robbed yesterday was his precious daughter. Fortunately, nothing happened. If one of his hairs fell out, Cao Haiyang would definitely not let it go. These people are here to arrest people today. They have been preparing for a few days and searched around here. They found it. Money is a small matter, and everything else is a big matter.
These four non-mainstream people were frightened. Then Ma Xin came up and said some "righteous words", which completely frightened them to death. They thought they were just borrowing money, and begged for mercy with snot and tears, claiming that they had no money. I thought it was so serious. I just ran out of money and wanted to borrow some money. I never thought it would involve robbery or that there might be such a severe punishment.
………………
Wei Tao himself didn't expect it. He was just angry and found someone to vent his anger on. He never expected that this incident would become some kind of inducement, and not just one.
He followed Liu Dalong here, and several people flew to Lingnan again to reciprocate the favor. Liu Dalong also showed his channels to Wei Tao.
It was another week's trip, this time it was smoother, but there was a rush for goods at the source of the goods, so there was a lot less. Only 5 trucks of fruit were grabbed, and two trucks came back overloaded.
After coming back, more than half of the first month had passed quietly. Cao Xiyu returned to school early on the 16th day of the first lunar month and continued to train intensively to participate in the competition.
Going out twice has already delayed the expansion of the business after the new year. After returning, Wei Tao has more and more things to do day by day. DXN needs to develop, and there are also many more franchisees in 'Xianshiguang', and they are decorating one store after another. He also needs to take a look. Treats from franchisees to dinner and drinks are almost fully booked at noon and evening.
"Mr. Wei, someone is looking for you."
At noon, Wei Tao was eating in the cafeteria. Yang Shanshan, who had been promoted from store manager to manager of two stores, went out after eating and came back.
"Um?"
Seeing the four young people standing in front of him, Wei Tao was still in a daze. He didn't recognize them?
"You're looking for me?"
"Boss Wei, let's pay back the money."
Seeing the five hundred and twenty-eight yuan, Wei Tao was stunned for a moment and finally remembered who the four people in front of him were. His non-mainstream hair was shaved off, and it was shaved very short, leaving only a little bit. Traces of original hair color.
"It's you guys, okay, I'll take the money."
Downstairs of Songjiang Theater, there were four people who 'borrowed' money from him. After being beaten and frightened by Ma Xin, a grassroots law enforcement officer, I can still see my eyes dripping with runny noses and tears.
Wei Tao took the money and walked to the second floor. In the afternoon, the customer service manager of the Bird branch came over. Xu Liang spoke in advance. The other party did not give a confirmation, but he was willing to come. He had already made his attitude clear, whether it was left or right. Let's see how Wei Tao talks to him.
"Huh? Is there anything else?"
The four people didn't move, they stopped and looked at Wei Tao, as if they were about to say something but didn't know what to say.
Seeing him turn around, and then seeing Zhu Xichun walking out while wiping the grease on the corners of his mouth with a napkin, they all shook their heads in unison: "No, it's okay."
Wei Tao frowned and said, "Wait a moment." He was about to walk out in a hurry.
The four people stood still.
"Come up with me."
In Wei Tao's office, four people stood in a row, lowering their heads slightly. Zhu Xichun sat on the sofa nearby and stared at them.
Wei Tao looked at them: "Did you ask for the money from your family?"
The four people shook their heads together: "No, we...we earned it ourselves."
Seeing them continue to hesitate to speak, Zhu Xichun glared and said angrily: "Just say what you have to say, hesitantly, not like a man."
"I earned it working downstairs."
Wang He, who used to follow Yao Xuejun on his cell phone, appeared in Wei Tao's office ten minutes later. After he told him, the latter knew what was going on?
After these four people were beaten that day, they were really frightened and did not dare to play nearby. But when the news came out, there was a little brother under Wang He who knew them and lived in the same area. He was not familiar with them. But Wang He, who knew the area where their family lived and wanted to show off in front of Wei Tao, took people to the game hall near their home, caught the four people, and punished them.
If you don't fight, it's just a slap in the face at best. The main thing is to teach you a lesson. Do you really know who you're borrowing money from? Do you think it's over after a beating?
Wang He suppressed these people and worked in the mobile phone street, either doing serious work or doing odd jobs, helping deliver accessories, cleaning, etc. He worked for more than ten days. Although the money was small, It’s only 300 a month, but I promised them to pay it every ten days.
Wang He threatens me to know where your family is, and scares them to come to work on time every morning. It is not about squeezing them. There are many young apprentices on the second floor of the communication building who are learning to repair mobile phones. They don't make any money, and some even pay three hundred. It wasn't much money, but wherever I got it, I couldn't tell that Wang He was bullying them.
"What on earth do you want to tell me?"
The leader of the four people with colorfully dyed hair, urged by the eyes of the other three, mustered up the courage: "Boss Wei, we, we don't want to go to work. Can you let us go?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Wei Tao seemed interested because he was lazy and lazy.
"We are not surfing the Internet just for fun. We are studying music. We want to form a band and become a rock band like 'Beyond.' But our family disagrees and won't give us money. We originally wanted to go to Yanjing after the year. I heard there are many bars and bands over there, so there should be a lot of opportunities..." With a surge of energy, everything in my heart came out. The more I spoke, the brighter my eyes became. The other three people also went from not daring to speak to adding, It looks like we will do anything for our dreams.
Wei Tao listened to them with great interest as they told them about their dreams, and then looked at their eager eyes and suddenly said, "Then what do you know now?"
"us……"
After a pause: "We can learn. We found some information on the Internet. I am self-taught. A Dong sings very well. An Nan learned street dancing when he was a child and was very good at it. My old uncle played in a band. I learned from him. Over the drum set.”
Zhang Xiangdong, Feng Yunan, Kang Zhixi, Zhao Jinbei. Seventeen years old, I just got my ID card, so I’m actually still underage.
You can say that the names of these four people are not fate. They were junior high school classmates and dropped out of school together. Their families all live near the railway residential complex.
Then, there is no more.
Quite idealistic, but facing the idea of an ideal, he was so naive that Wei Tao couldn't help laughing: "You want to form a band, let alone your strength, let alone how you will survive in Yanjing, you can't even pay a few hundred yuan None, then tell me, do you have the basic instruments of the band? Drums don’t count, at least guitars and the like, you should have them, otherwise what kind of band is it?”
"Let's go to Yanjing to work and make more money." Kang Zhixi was the boy who once dyed his hair red. He had been cleaned up several times, and his eyes no longer had the anger of seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied. When Ma Xin appeared, the people next to him told him, "Robbery" 'They are really afraid of the concept.
In fact, in the past, for weak students, they didn't take the ten or twenty yuan seriously, nor did they think it was a big deal. That day, they got nearly two thousand yuan from Wei Tao. To be honest, in their hearts I was also worried, but under the temptation of having easy money, I even thought about buying a ticket with the remaining 1,000 yuan.
The thoughts and actions of four young people who have not been severely bombarded by reality are not even naive, at best they are ignorant fantasies.
"You are all going to the outside world, and you are still afraid of what Wang He will do. Now that you are gone, we won't go to Yanjing to arrest you."
"Brother He knows about our family..." Zhang Xiangdong's half-sentence really made Wei Tao re-examine them. No matter how badass they were, at least they knew not to cause trouble for the family, and he didn't want his family to get into trouble because of him. and be affected.
Wei Tao thought for a moment and took a closer look at these four people for the first time. Not to mention, after the non-mainstream looks were removed, the four of them still looked quite distinctive.
"I know the situation in Yanjing. It's just the four of you. Let alone forming a band, it doesn't matter whether you can survive. If I were you, I would have a place to live at home and parents to give you food. You don’t have to spend any money, make money at home, learn the basics of music, and let yourself look like a band first. If it’s almost done, I’ll help you make arrangements to go to Yanjing, it’s better than you just wandering around like a headless fly.”
"Really? Boss Wei, can you help us? Do you know the band in Yanjing?"
