It's noon.
The bright sun did not bring warmth to the earth, but the melting of the snow made the temperature even colder.
In the orchard nursing room, Lu Tao, Guan Lei, Bin Bin, and Jacky Li were sitting around the table. The copper hotpot in front of them was churning with water, and the aroma of the dishes filled their noses.
Guan Lei drank half a glass of white wine and looked at Lu Tao with a red face: "Brother, your decision to cooperate with Lao Li is really wise! All the money we put out has been returned before dinner. In half a night, , we got fifty-two thousand in dividends!"
"This is all due to Brother Li. Without him setting up the ladder, even if we are talented, we would not be able to pick the peaches from the tree."
Lu Tao clinked glasses with Jacky Li: "Brother Li, I toast you this glass."
"Haha, Xiao Lu, you are so polite! Without you, I wouldn't be able to support this by myself. We all help each other and make a fortune together!"
Jacky Li was very happy to be praised by Lu Tao. He patted his chest and promised: "Last night was just a small test of my skills. Tonight I will continue to work hard and try to bring all the guests from Li Jifeng's side to the mountain!"
Lu Tao picked up a piece of ribs and reminded: "You can lure gamblers, but it must be after they have finished the game, or the gamblers have lost all their chips before you lure them in. You must not forcefully lure them!"
When Guan Lei heard this, he lost his temper again: "Brother, why do I always feel that you are afraid of Li Jifeng? He is just a money man. If he dares to show his teeth, let's do it with him!"
"The knife you received and the attack I suffered, these things cannot be easily dismissed. We must ask Li Jifeng for an explanation!"
Lu Tao responded calmly: "Whether we fight with Li Jifeng or we want to survive, we need money! If we have a conflict with Li Jifeng now, our business will definitely be bad! Those gamblers have known him for so long, you If we two sides fight, which side will they take?"
"That's right, what Xiao Lu said makes sense! The purpose of our partnership is to make money. If we don't make any money and we get into trouble, isn't that just a bully?"
Jacky Li sided with Lu Tao without hesitation: "I'll listen to Xiao Lu on this matter. I will be cautious when inviting guests tonight."
Guan Lei heard that Lu Tao had decided to seek revenge, and raised his glass of wine towards him: "I won't think about these things. From now on, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you want me to do!"
Binbin stared with ignorant little eyes, and said with a fierce look: "That's right, as long as Brother Tao gives the order, I will chop up Li Jifeng's whole family!"
Guan Lei squinted and cursed: "Don't brag here. Do you think Li Jifeng's family is the chef of a dumpling restaurant and hires you to chop dumpling fillings? You have a murder license. Who wouldn't be shot to death?"
Lu Tao smiled and picked up the wine glass: "I know what happened to Li Jifeng. Now that we have decided to take this path, no one can bully us."
…
That night, eleven o'clock sharp.
At this time, everything in the Taiwanese village was completely silent. Except for the occasional barking of dogs, there were no lights in the village.
In contrast to the tranquility of the village, there was a great deal of excitement within the village committee.
In the office responsible for lending money, Li Jifeng sent a boss who was borrowing money out of the door and asked a young man in the room: "How come you didn't see Hadron tonight? There is so much smoke here, where can he die?" went?"
The young man bundled the cash for pumping and registered it. He sniffed and replied, "Brother Qiang said he had a bad stomach at night and was lying down in the dormitory downstairs! Brother Feng, do you want me to call him?"
"Forget it, call him and don't bring him into this room again!"
Li Jifeng showed a helpless expression: "I'm really lazy and pee a lot. I thought that with him here, I would be able to relax a little bit, but this guy can't hold up the wall with mud!"
Seeing that Li Jifeng looked tired, the young man asked tentatively: "Brother Feng, how about you go and take a rest, and I'll keep an eye on you?"
Li Jifeng is a professional gambler and is particularly sensitive to money. He responded cryptically: "Forget it, the accounts here are too complicated. I'm afraid you won't understand them. Just keep an eye on them for a while."
…
In the dormitory downstairs with no lights on, Sun Qiang was sitting by the bed with a sad face on his face, talking on the phone to his friend who was lending money: "Brother, I did promise to pay you back the money today, but I really can't make the money here. , and haven’t I already transferred the interest to you?”
On the other side of the phone, Sun Qiang's friend sounded irritated: "You have to understand that I don't run the consignment shop that lends you money. Just like you, I also run errands for my elder brother! Before the Chinese New Year, my elder brother had promised a logistics boss. , we agreed to borrow money to help him cross the river after he started work, and the money you used was drawn from the money I prepared for him! You agreed to only use it for one day, and I will use it tomorrow It's time to pay Bian, how do you want me to explain?"
Sun Qiangmeng took a puff of the cigarette in his hand: "Don't say it so nicely, JB. Didn't you misappropriate funds and lend them to me to earn some pocket money for yourself? I borrowed money from you, and it's not like I didn't give it back. As for the interest, even if you say it, I’ll take it for granted!”
"Fuck your mother, what do you mean by that? Are you acting like a scoundrel with me?"
The other party immediately became anxious: "Sun Qiang, you have been hanging out with Li Jifeng for a few days, do you think you are awesome? I have to come to you personally to collect the account, right?"
"Oh, why are you so anxious when you are nagging?"
Sun Qiang knew that these loan lenders were all disowned by their relatives. After being scolded by the other party, he did not dare to force him: "We all help each other to earn some pocket money. Who wants to bring the matter to this point?" We have been friends for so many years, so when you have time to fight, can't you think of how to solve the problem?"
"Now that you owe money and you won't pay it back, what are you thinking?"
Seeing Sun Qiang's soft words, the friend felt angry for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You have been hanging out with Li Jifeng for so many years, so you should know a lot of gamblers, right? Otherwise, you can set up a gambling game yourself, or find another one." When the credit company takes the money, why don’t they plug up my hole first?”
"I only have a second-hand Jetta in my name, and I don't even own a house. Who dares to lend me hundreds of thousands? And I am the second-in-command beside Brother Feng. If I go out to gamble by myself, wouldn't that be tantamount to betraying the master? ? What’s more, the New Year is over now, how can it be so easy to save games?"
While Sun Qiang was bragging to his friends, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Don't tell me, I really thought of a way! Brother Feng's gambling game is quite big. After the guests at the table lose money, they don't have enough chips to win." Go to the table, but I can persuade them to make a smaller bet! If everything goes well, you should be able to return your money soon, but you have to tolerate me for a week."
"I'm so convinced. If I had known you were so bad at doing things, I would rather burn the money with my grandfather when I go to the grave, and not even take the money I lent to you!"
My friend's arms trembled with anger, and finally he sighed angrily: "I will first fill in the money you owe from other colleagues. I don't have to earn your money, but you will get the daily interest on this account." You have to pay it. And we agreed that I will give you three days at most. If something goes wrong again, don’t fucking blame me for not saying the ugly thing first!"
Sun Qiang grabbed a life-saving straw and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, when I recover, your share of interest will be the same. We have been brothers for so many years, and I will never cheat you!"
"Don't fucking get close to me here. You know what I am like, Zhang Dequan. If you still can't see the money after three days, let alone you, even my biological father will have to sacrifice one of his legs and kneel down to sing "Conquer" to me! "
The other party threatened him fiercely and hung up the phone directly.
