"It's so beautiful and lively."
A brand-new Mercedes-Benz with smooth lines... Oh, I forgot, it's called Ping Chi here on Hong Kong Island.
Cen Hao pressed his face against the car window, looking at the bustling market with novelty, the brightly lit night scene, and the female Bodhisattvas standing under the telephone poles, posing for the pedestrians...
Chu Heng was studying the car under his butt, wondering how to get one back.
The leather of his Volga is indeed solid, but when it comes to comfort, the Mercedes-Benz can beat it by a few blocks without being stuck in traffic.
"We're here, Mr. Chu."
At this time, the Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped in front of Du Laozhi Nightclub with colorful lights flashing on the door.
A few young ladies who were standing at the door soliciting business, who looked like their families were very poor and didn't even have a few clothes on, met a Mr. Asan who was in charge of greeting guests. His eyes instantly became hot and he hurriedly got into the car. Open the door.
Most of the people who can afford to ride in Mercedes-Benz cars are rich or expensive. If they are lucky, they might even get a decent tip.
"Go find a place nearby and take a stroll."
Chu Heng casually took out a ten-dollar Hong Kong dollar and put it into the driver's hand. As soon as he said this, the car door was opened by Brother Asan, who looked to be in his twenties, and a strong smell of curry suddenly hit his nostrils.
"welcome."
"Get away from me! I hate the smell of curry."
Chu Heng frowned, covered his nose with his hands, and looked at Brother Asan who was smiling outside the car with disgust. It wasn't that he was showing off, but that he really couldn't smell the smell. He felt like vomiting every time he smelled it. , and sometimes even want to take out a gun...
Ah San could understand Chinese. The smile on his face immediately froze when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show any unhappy expression and could only take a few steps back in embarrassment.
Only then did Chu Heng lean up and get out of the car.
As soon as he appeared, the eyes of the two poor girls standing next to the car door flashed with a look of amazement. They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts that there could be such a handsome man in this world!
The next moment, the two of them pounced on him like hungry wolves and tightly hugged his arms.
If you don’t make any money today, you just want to make money, so they will accept the job!
Whoever grabs it will risk his life!
"Boss~!"
"Can I have a couple of drinks with you?"
Chu Heng glanced at the young ladies holding his arms on the left and right. They were graceful in figure and exquisite in appearance. He couldn't help but sigh. In the era when live broadcasting was not yet popular, the quality of these poor young ladies was really high!
"Haha, let's go then~!"
Ya pulled out her arm, tossed out five dollars and threw it to Ah San who was standing aside. She then took advantage of the situation and put her arms around the shoulders of the two young ladies, and walked towards the door of the nightclub, looking like a seasoned veteran of the nightclub.
On the other side, Cen Hao, who was also entangled by the two young ladies, was helpless beside the car. When he saw Chu Heng walking inside, he quickly broke away from the two young ladies and ran after them.
"It seems like a chick?"
"Isn't Hina good? It's best to handle people like this."
"Then hurry up and catch up, don't let other little bitches get the first step."
"Old rules?"
"Split the tip equally."
The two young ladies murmured a few words, then quickly caught up with Cen Hao. Each of them hugged one of his arms and refused to let go.
A few moments.
Several people walked into the nightclub.
Chu Heng stood at the door and looked at the internal environment. The area was estimated to be four to five hundred square meters. The style was somewhat similar to a nightclub in the old Shanghai period. There were warm lights above the head, a large dance floor in the middle, and dozens of booths and small tables. Surrounded by the dance floor, there is also a stage at the end. A good-looking young man is standing in the middle of the stage singing to his heart's content. He is singing a Cantonese song that he does not understand, but his voice is not picky. It is first-rate. .
"Excuse me, sirs."
A young man in a suit and leather shoes came to him at this time, with a professional smile on his face, and asked him in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
"Well, that's all."
Chu Heng didn't even look at the young man. He just tapped Cen Hao with his chin. Under the entanglement of the young ladies, his face was as red as a monkey's butt, looking very arrogant.
"plz follow me."
The young man was not annoyed and kept the smile on his face. He led him directly to a smaller unmanned booth and sat down. After asking what he wanted to drink, he turned around and left.
In this kind of situation, the most fearless thing is the arrogance of the guest, because the more arrogant he is, the more confident he is, and having confidence means he is rich and powerful!
Not long after the young man left.
A woman in her thirties with exquisite make-up came here with several waiters. She was Mama-san from the nightclub. I heard someone said that a handsome guy who came by Pingji was in the store, so she came here to take a look.
And when she saw Chu Heng's handsome face that was so handsome that he didn't look like a human being, Mamasang was immediately shocked. Her weather-beaten little heart, which had already seen through the world of mortals, jumped up and started beating faster. Go back to the ignorant and beautiful feeling of girlhood.
So, she who originally just wanted to take a look sat down with a sweet smile, toasted with a glass of wine, and then started chatting with Chu Heng.
"The boss is such a handsome guy."
"You are also a pretty girl."
"Gee, the boss looks a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"
"how do you know?"
"You are such a handsome boy. If you meet me once, you will never forget it. If you have been here, how can I not remember you?"
"Haha, I can talk! Here's to you."
"Thank you. I wonder what kind of business the boss does?"
"Want to know? Drink this glass of wine."
…
After chatting for a long time, no questions came out, and Mamasang, who was still drunk and had a belly full of wine, was still enjoying it and was unwilling to leave. The two young ladies accompanying Chu Heng rolled their eyes angrily.
Fortunately, she didn't stay too long. After chatting for a few more words, someone came over and said that a guest was causing trouble and she needed to solve it. Mama-san could only reluctantly leave.
The two young ladies happily returned to Chu Heng.
"The boss drinks."
"Don't just drink it by myself, let's drink together!"
"Boss, please try this shredded squid."
“What’s so delicious about squid, is there any abalone?
"Oh, please don't touch it."
"Ha ha!"
Chu Heng hugged each other, drank wine, listened to songs, and enjoyed the feasting, entertainment, and entertainment that seemed to come from the old times, and he was like a fish in water.
On the other hand, Cen Hao.
At this time, Yazheng was honestly trying to persuade the two young ladies around her to behave...
"Where is your hometown?"
"Why do this?"
"You are so beautiful and have hands and feet, what can't you do?"
"It's better to find a good man to marry as soon as possible."
"No matter what happens, it would be good to do some business on your own."
…
It's late at night.
Wan Chai is like a city that never sleeps, with excitement everywhere.
"Goodbye boss."
"Look for me again. I'm Xiaohong."
"Don't forget Xiaolan."
"Brother Hao, when my store opens, I will treat you to dinner."
At around eleven o'clock, Chu Heng, who was slightly drunk, came out of the nightclub accompanied by two young ladies. Different from when he came, he had a few more lipstick marks on his face.
Cen Hao was also sent out by a young lady. After unremitting efforts and sincere persuasion, she really convinced him!
After saying farewell at the door, the two brothers, smelling of alcohol, walked towards the Mercedes-Benz that had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the two people approached, the driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door for them.
But at this moment, a child of more than ten and a half years old suddenly rushed out, stood in front of Chu Heng with a surprised look on his face, and said in an authentic Sijiucheng dialect: "Brother, why are you here too?"
"Get out of here." Chu Heng thought he was a liar and kicked him.
His parents had been dead for many years, and it was his first time coming to Hong Kong Island. Where did he get his younger brother?
The child hurriedly dodged, and just as he was about to step forward, he was caught by three members of the community who were watching the scene, and slapped him hard.
"Snapped!"
"You bastard, you dare to mess around in He Shenghe's territory. Are you looking for death?"
"Tug it away quickly! Don't disturb the distinguished guests."
The child was dragged to a corner like a chicken, and what awaited him would be a severe beating, and his hands and feet might even be cut off.
He immediately became anxious and struggled and shouted: "Brother, don't you remember me? Last year in Sijiu City, I stole people's food and was thrown by the eldest sister. You gave me money at that time , let me come to Hong Kong Island by boat!"
"Wait!"
Chu Heng, who was getting into the car, immediately stopped after hearing this. He remembered that there was indeed such a thing. At that time, he went to pick up Ni Yinghong's grandma for medical treatment. On the way, he met a down-and-out young man who came from an unknown wealthy family. He was confused for a moment. I reluctantly gave him some money and pointed out a clear path.
He quickly retreated, turned around and looked at the young man who was still captured. He did have some impressions, and he felt a little like meeting an old friend in a foreign land: "So it's your boy!"
He walked up to the bank with a big smile, took out three five-dollar Hong Kong dollars from his body, and put them into the hands of the three club members. After sending them away, he reached out and rubbed the child's head, and said with a smile: "That's enough." What a coincidence, such a big Hong Kong Island, I can meet you."
"When I saw you just now, I didn't believe it." The child with a slap mark on his face grinned.
"Does it hurt?" Chu Heng touched the redness and swelling on his face, frowned, and felt a little guilty. After all, if you really want to care about it, this slap was also because of him.
"It's okay." The child shook his head vigorously and asked excitedly: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Me? Come to do something." Chu Heng smiled and asked with concern: "But you, what time is it, and you are still wandering outside?"
"I just got off work and happened to pass by here." The child said.
"Oh, it's too late."
After chatting for a while, Chu Heng felt a little hungry, so he looked around and saw a food stall on the street not far away, so he grabbed the child, called the driver and Cen Hao, and walked over together.
Food stalls are a specialty of Hong Kong Island. They usually open at night and are placed on the roads or streets. They are characterized by affordable prices, rich dishes, authentic tastes, and a dirty environment...
After a few people arrived at the place, they ordered a few things to eat and then found a greasy table to sit down at.
Chu Heng, Cen Hao and the children did not feel any discomfort with this poor dining environment. On the contrary, the driver frowned and looked very reluctant from the beginning. Finally, when Chu Heng, a rich man, sat down When I got down, I had no choice but to wipe it on the stool with my handkerchief several times before I would sit down. Then I muttered that it was not clean here and eating would easily spoil my stomach.
Chu Heng rolled his eyes at this guy. He was just a driver. How could he really think of himself as a pampered rich man?
Ignoring this guy, he turned around and started chatting with the little fellow next to him.
"Hey, tell me, how did you spend your time after we separated that day?"
The child touched the newly paid salary in his arms and felt that it would not be a big problem to treat him to this meal. So he felt relieved, showed an optimistic smile on his face, and told his benefactor about his experience in an understatement.
"That day, before I took the money you gave me, I went to Tianjin overnight. I stayed there for another half a month before I found an opportunity and boarded a foreign cargo ship bound for Hong Kong Island."
“When I got here, I didn’t know anyone and couldn’t find anyone, so I found a broken bowl and asked for a portion of rice. Although I was always looked down upon by others, I was able to enjoy myself, and later on I After getting familiar with the environment, I went to a restaurant and cut vegetables and washed dishes for others."
"The boss was quite nice. He knew that I had just come from the mainland and was very poor. Not only did he help me find someone to apply for an ID card, he also bought me clothes and found me a house to live in."
"Unfortunately, he offended the club and the restaurant closed. I had no choice but to leave and go to a small factory."
"That factory owner was really not a human being. Not only did he treat us like animals, but he also refused to pay us wages in the end. I and several friends went to ask for it, and we were beaten up by them. One of my friends' legs was broken."
"Later on, I moved to several places. I don't know if it was unlucky or something else. The bosses either refused to pay me or closed down."
"It wasn't until half a year ago that I settled down."
"I met an eldest sister who is also from Sijiu City. She also has connections, both black and white. She has a restaurant nearby, and I work there."
"Oh, by the way, her name is Lou Xiao'e..."
"Just wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Chu Heng suddenly interrupted him, looked over in astonishment, and asked: "Does the Lou Xiao'e you are talking about have a round face, a sweet smile, and breasts twice as big as hers?"
"Brother, do you know her?" the child said blankly.
"Haha, I know her so well. She has been my old neighbor for many years. Let's go, let's go, we won't eat. You can quickly lead me to Lou Xiao'e, and my eldest brother will take you to have a big meal." Chu Heng looked excited. He stood up, even more excited than when he recognized the child just now.
After all, compared to the children who met by chance, Lou Xiao'e was her real old friend.
"Ouch, what a coincidence!" A look of surprise appeared on the child's face, and he stood up happily: "Today is a double blessing. Sister Lou must be very happy to see you. Come on, big brother. Sister Lou should still be in the store at this time.”
"It's good to eat."
At this time, the owner of the food stall came over with several plates of food.
"If you don't want to eat it, don't look for it."
Chu Heng didn't have the energy to eat, so he dropped the ten dollars and called the others to walk to the Mercedes-Benz together.
Cen Hao looked at the food on the table with regret and couldn't help but pick up the plate and take a few mouthfuls before leaving.
Drivers who didn't need to eat at the food stalls happily went to find and open the door.
A few moments
Several people returned to the car and set off quickly under the guidance of the children. A few minutes later, they stopped under an antique restaurant.
"Go back to the hotel!"
Chu Heng got out of the car and looked at the door, then walked into the three-story restaurant with his child. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Lou family has been like that, and it will be the same in another place. Things are booming!
Soon, a group of them entered the restaurant.
In the hall on the first floor, under the dim light, Lou Xiao'e, with her hair permed and sleek clothes, was sitting at a round table, fiddling with an abacus and calculating the day's turnover.
"Sister Lou, Sister Lou!"
The child started shouting as soon as he entered the room.
"Why are you back again? Did something fall here?" Lou Xiao'e laughed first when she heard the sound, raised her head with curved eyebrows, and was about to reprimand her when her whole body froze.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously, looked at Chu Heng who was standing behind the child, and checked several times before finally confirming that she had read it correctly!
"ah!!!!"
"Tsengko!"
Looking at this old neighbor whom she thought she would never see again in her life, she screamed excitedly. She was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She hurriedly stood up and ran up quickly.
