When Gu Jianlin returned to the store, he saw a group of men in black coming out of the store cursing from a distance, carrying steel rods, machetes, and even shotguns.
The three stowaways were watching at the door of the store, their eyes full of fear.
Gu Jianlin ignored them and went directly into the store to take a look.
The goods in the store were all intact, but other daily necessities were smashed to pieces. There were glass fragments, smashed electric fans, and torn wires all over the floor.
On the smashed recliner, Zhong Guoqing lowered his head. His hair turned a lot whiter overnight. There were a few muddy footprints on his clothes, and there was a large nosebleed on his collar.
"Xiao, Xiao Gu."
Zhong Li squatted on the ground and wiped his father's nosebleed, lowered his head and said, "You're back."
Seeing Lin Dandan, Gu asked: "What's going on?"
"It's okay, I just had a little conflict with someone."
Zhong Guoqing raised his head, wiped the nosebleed, and forced out an extremely ugly smile on his sad and cruel face: "Go on with your work. The work in the store cannot be delayed, so as not to be held accountable by the superiors."
He got up and picked up the broom and dustpan to clean the room without mentioning a word about his unexcused absence from work.
"Xiao Gu, this is your salary from yesterday, plus a fifty yuan bonus."
Zhong Li wiped her tears, took out three hundred and fifty yuan from the store, and handed it to his hand: "I heard that you didn't take the ten thousand yuan yesterday... Thank you, really thank you."
Gu Jianlin was silent. He noticed that the attitude of the father and daughter towards him had changed significantly.
Zhong Guoqing's store manager's airs were obviously missing, and Zhong Li also started to be cautious.
I think it must be because of that gold card.
People who fight black boxing here are all aiming to reach the finals, win and get gold cards.
Or come out alive from the beast cage and kill a fallen person.
Gu Jianlin beat the vulture to death yesterday in order to give him a ride and give him pleasure.
Ten thousand yuan is just an extra.
Although this money is a lot for people living in forbidden areas, if you can find a relatively good job, 10,000 yuan is only a month's salary.
Obviously, the Zhong family's father and daughter actually value their family more than money.
"What happened just now?"
Gu Jianlin saw the girl's hesitant expression and said coldly: "Say."
Zhong Li shook his head, gritted his teeth and turned around and ran away.
Even Zhong Guoqing went to the warehouse with a broom and sat there, smoking silently.
Gu Jianlin had no choice but to turn to the three stowaways and put a hundred yuan on the table.
"what happened?"
he asked.
I saw a stowaway with quick eyesight and quick hands, and took away the money: "It was Boss Zhang just now. Because the vulture lost the boxing match, Boss Zhang lost a lot of money, and the resources to cultivate the vulture were in vain. The store manager and his daughter It was through Boss Zhang that I booked a place to leave here on a smuggler’s boat and live in Southeast Asia.”
"Now that the quota is gone, Boss Zhang said they should stay and continue working."
He added: "Until the money is paid back."
Gu Jianlin said calmly: "That's it?"
"Well, because Boss Zhang is in charge of port trade. If you want to leave here, you have to rely on him."
said the stowaway.
Gu Jianlin understood and said calmly: "I thought he would come to me."
The stowaway quickly apologized and said with a smile: "This is different. You should already have a gold card, right? This proves that you are Liu Sanye's. Liu Sanye's rules are very strict. He dare not pass those To make you do things for him, unless you voluntarily defect to him and find him as a backer."
Gu Jianlin thought for a while: "I understand."
What a coincidence. Boss Zhang happens to be in charge of port trade.
The stowaway said: "Boss Zhang went out for a trip, and he only gave them five hours to think about it. If they can't give him the money, they will have to work for him."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
This is how the world is in the forbidden area. Yesterday, he was just a dull boy working hard.
But once he got the gold card, everyone greeted him with a smile.
However, Gu Jianlin could see the true emotions hidden under every smiling face.
Hidden in the smiling faces of Zhong Guoqing and Zhong Li is their sadness and humility.
But what is hidden in the smiling faces of these three stowaways is flattery and treachery.
Five hours, then just wait.
I just took this opportunity to get close to Boss Zhang, and then waited for the Yan family and his wife to come over.
Gu Jianlin stood in front of the counter, waiting for the customers.
At this time, suddenly a sneaky figure glanced at him and ran away quickly.
In less than ten minutes, a group of people from Wuyangyang came to appraise the treasure.
There are five counters in total. The scholar has already been absent from work, and there are four left.
However, there was not a single customer in front of the three stowaways.
All the guests gathered at Gu Jianlin's side.
"Help me, my daughter is sick and can't hold on anymore."
"My wife had a difficult delivery, but I didn't have the money to go to the hospital."
"I want to send my father out of here, but I only need five thousand yuan. Can you help me?"
Humble or flattering, depressed or worried, sincere or hypocritical.
Gu Jianlin was confused.
Dozens of people gathered in front of him. It felt like one of those costume dramas, where a rich man came to the slums and a group of dirty beggars came up to him with bowls and asked for money.
Gu Jianlin understood.
Perhaps the person who came to attack him in the dormitory yesterday told the truth about the bad guy in the treasure appraisal shop, so a large number of people who were short of money gathered here today.
Those eyes were eager for the young man in front of them to appraise treasures on their behalf.
Then give them the money.
At this time, Zhong Guoqing and Zhong Li rushed out with shotguns and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here! Are you fucking shameless? Huh? There are so many of you, how many times do you want Xiao Gu to appraise treasures? Are you going to His life?"
Perhaps only at this time can the father and daughter stand upright.
Because they want to protect the people in the store.
The group of treasure appraisers were frightened when they saw the muzzle of the gun, and left angrily.
Some people spat into the store before leaving.
"It's okay, Xiao Gu. Those people won't dare to come here anymore. For the past two days, if you can't do it, just stay in the store. It's safer to have a gun in the store. You sleep on my bed, and I'll make the floor."
Zhong Guoqing glared at the group of people fiercely: "These dogs."
This old man looks much stronger than expected.
My brother died yesterday, and today I have been deprived of the hope of leaving here.
I didn't expect to recover so quickly.
This is the sadness of adults.
No matter what happens, you have to hold on.
You must also hold on.
Because there is no one behind you.
Zhong Li put a shotgun on the table and forced a smile: "The gun is here, be careful."
Gu Jianlin felt inexplicably agitated, his breathing became rapid, the spirituality in his mind ebbed and flowed, and the turbulent tide seemed to have become violent, roaring like thunder.
Suddenly, the world became quiet.
The sound of the tide suddenly stopped, and the howling of the sea wind between heaven and earth disappeared without a trace.
The whole world seemed to be flying away, the hustle and bustle of the world was submerged in the silence and disappeared.
Someone pushed a wheelchair and came to the door of the store.
"The first lesson is over."
At some point, Jing Ci appeared at the door of the store, still wearing a suit and leather shoes, classical and elegant: "The name of this class is human nature. I think, after these two days, you have fully understood it."
The old man was taking a nap in his wheelchair, breathing long and loud.
Gu Jianlin remained silent.
"Originally, the teacher and I were still thinking about how to send you into the forbidden area. Unexpectedly, you came by yourself, which is really worrying. In that case, let's talk about your feelings."
Jing Ci looked at the sky: "The second lesson is about to begin."
