Chapter 1114 What do the big brothers like to play?
Chapter 1114 What do the big brothers like to play?
As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.
The girls in the club are pretty, but no matter how attracted you are, you can't find them here.
Especially Pei Pei and Ou Xin, they originally came to the club to play with Huang Gan.
They were attracted by the environment here, and Sister Lou was also attracted by their looks and identities.
So since I had more time to play here, I stayed here to work as a waiter.
Of course, Sister Lou was aware of their identities and future, so she had no intention of keeping them for long.
It's just that the club is just starting out, and many projects need to be kept confidential. Ordinary people really can't serve these members for fear of trouble.
It’s not that the members are touching us or have improper thoughts, but we are afraid that girls from ordinary families will come here and have improper thoughts about the members.
Don’t think that people at this time are simple and honest, because only the majority are simple and honest.
Even Dong Wenxue, who has a family, fell into the trap of gentleness.
A good tiger cannot fight off a pack of wolves, a good woman cannot defend against a cunning wolf, and they are afraid of thinking about everything.
The reason for hiring girls like Ou Xin and Pei Pei is that they have good family backgrounds, high quality, and their parents are cadres, so they won't have any nonsense.
In the past year, Ou Xin and Pei Pei have worked very well here and helped Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li complete the management transition.
In terms of business, they can all hold their own on their own, especially after the official operation, they can train the newly recruited waiters and manage various departments.
Not all of the newly recruited waiters come from a background like Ou Xin. Some of them came in through the care of Zhao Laosi. They are all children from ordinary families.
Timid, cowardly, and afraid to speak, especially after hearing and seeing what others have seen and heard, and knowing the identities of the members here.
If it weren't for Pei Pei and Ou Xin's help, we really wouldn't be able to open our hands with these people.
The people were brought here by Huang Gan, Ma Jun and others. Pei Pei, Ou Xin and others were naturally closer to Huang Gan and others, closer than before.
In the past, Ou Xin and Pei Pei were just big girls in the compound, different from the naughty boys.
Not all children of cadres have jobs as soon as they graduate, and not all graduates can find ideal jobs within the appropriate age.
Ou Xin's family arranged for her to work as a salesperson in a shopping mall, but she couldn't stand the hardship.
In addition, four cleanup and rectification operations were launched at that time, and their parents were affected to varying degrees.
They were either busy with work or transferred out of the capital, so they were unable to discipline these girls, which led to them roaming around the city having fun, acting like heartless people.
No matter how big or fun this city is, people get tired of playing there. Riding a bike around the park is no longer popular or sophisticated. They want to do something more exciting and sophisticated.
So, when Su Yu met her brother-in-law Huang Gan through her distant cousin, she would ask her sisters to go out and play with him whenever she had time.
Huang Gan is young and promising. He likes to play and have fun at his age. He has a group of little girls who admire and flatter him, so he is naturally a show-off.
Whenever there is a gathering or fun among buddies, Su Yu and the others will definitely be invited.
Whether it is a bar or a dance, for young girls like Su Yu who are still young and inexperienced in the world, it is much more attractive than visiting a park.
Especially after coming into contact with "successful" older brothers like Huang Gan, I feel a sense of contempt when looking at those naughty boys.
Over time, girls like Su Yu, Ou Xin, and Pei Pei, with the support of Huang Gan, were able to break away from the boring circle in the compound and move into a higher-level social circle.
Because everyone comes from the same background and can even live in the same compound, they trust each other and that kind of situation will never happen.
Therefore, Ou Xin's parents would not restrict them too much, which led to Pei Pei and Huang Gan getting closer and closer, and even developing secret feelings for each other.
Making friends with young and promising older brothers makes them feel superior to their peers or former classmates and friends, and they are naturally more dependent on and admire the older brothers.
What is this mentality called?
Li Xuewu didn't know, but when he saw Pei Pei, Ou Xin and others being brought to play by Huang Gan and his friends, he knew that these girls were there early and late.
As the saying goes: A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.
As the saying goes: Why run all over the mountain when there is grass near your nest? Wouldn't it be better to get the moon first from a tower near the water?
No matter whether you are a decent person or not, no one can stand being surrounded, praised and admired by others every day, and you will fall sooner or later.
There is a word in later generations that is not very appropriate but surprisingly suitable here.
Hunting.
This word can describe flattery and frame-up with malicious intent, but it can also describe worship for the purpose of personal emotional life.
Not to mention that someone like Huang Gan would become arrogant and complacent after being praised and admired by Pei Pei and Ou Xin for a long time. Even the most noble people will have such moments. After all, they are still human beings.
Why was Pei Pei able to catch Huang Gan's tail and force him into panic and at a loss as to what to do?
Some time ago, Huang Gan even wanted to ask Li Xuewu for help to set up another courtyard in the city.
What do you think it means when a man buys a house and settles down outside without telling his wife?
Of course, I want to give another girl a home, there is no need to think about it.
Is Pei Pei willing to start a new family with him?
This kind of thing is not new to later generations, and it is not new in this era.
You say a man has only one wife, but you have never seen one with two.
It is always like this, the difference lies in how much and whether it is popular enough for you to hear and see it.
Of course Huang Gan didn't ask Pei Pei whether she was willing to be with him. There was no need to ask such a question.
But he didn't have the chance to ask Li Xuewu for help, and he didn't buy the house.
Why not buy it yourself?
Are you kidding? Of course he couldn't do this kind of thing by himself. He was a man with dignity.
For someone like him, if he goes to the Housing Management Office or looks for someone on the street to buy a house, Su Youfang might find out about it in the evening.
He can only ask someone with whom he has a good relationship and who is willing to help him cover this.
He couldn't even trust Ma Jun, except Li Xuewu, whom he thought was reliable.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, Li Xuewu ran away that day, leaving him no chance to make a mistake.
But it also gave him a chance to think carefully about his personal love life and family.
Finally, Huang Gan felt that he was bewitched. Pei Pei hadn't even told him that she wanted to date him, but he had already made some moves and was even thinking about buying a house.
Whether out of shame or sudden enlightenment, he did not let Su Youfang come to talk to Pei Pei about the matter as Li Xuewu had suggested.
He already felt sorry for his wife, and now it was even more embarrassing to ask her to clean up his mess.
It was also a cruel thing for Pei Pei.
So, after he opened his heart and confessed everything to Pei Pei, he came to Li Xuewu to heal his wounds. This could be considered a kind of heartbreak for him.
Li Xuewu has a lot of experience in treating this kind of psychological trauma, usually through chemotherapy (or talk) therapy.
It's just that he doesn't know how to control the degree of conversation, and usually chooses to fight poison with poison.
Especially when the other party is too deeply poisoned, deeply in love and wants to divert the blame.
-
"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you don't love someone, don't hurt them." Huang Gan acted as if he was an experienced person.
He took a puff of the cigarette called Loneliness, looked at Li Xuewu and shook his head slightly, and sighed: "For girls who yearn for beautiful love, we should respect and keep a distance, so that both parties can leave with dignity."
"Hey? How dare you say such things to me?"
Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked, "Didn't I teach you this?"
"Fuck - these are my lessons learned and conclusions, and I'm sharing them with you today!"
Huang Gan pointed at Li Xuewu and reminded him, "I see that you are on the verge of confusion and mistakes. I am trying to help you so that you won't make a mistake and regret it forever. Do you understand?"
"Thank you so much--!"
Li Xuewu curled his lips, looked at Huang Gan and said, "You are more shameless than I thought. You use people to move forward, and don't use people to move backward."
"I don't care. I've warned you anyway. Go if you want to—"
How could Huang Gan embarrass himself in front of Li Xuewu because of something like this? He had to make up for it.
While counting on his fingers, he said, "Ou Xin, Zhou Xiaobai, and Li Bai are all good girls. You can't be a heartless man like Chen Shimei!"
“Wait a minute—!”
Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said, "You mentioned Ou Xin and Zhou Xiaobai. Let me tell you first, we are just friends, nothing like that!"
"Another thing, what does Li Bai mean to you? What does she have to do with me?"
"Look! They say you are Chen Shimei!"
Huang Gan had a look on his face that said, "I've caught you." He pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "You turned a blind eye to the girl's affection. You're such a heartless man!"
"You're just trying to accuse me, right?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Huang Gan, how long has it been since we graduated and haven't practiced against each other? Let's go and practice wrestling, shall we?"
"No, I'm not in a good mood today—"
Huang Gancai is not stupid. How could he give Li Xuewu a chance to take revenge?
Wrestling with him is either wrestling or getting thrown down. Who would be stupid enough to be his punching bag?
"If you want to beat me up, just say so," Huang Gan shook his head and said, "But as a friend, I still have to remind you of your so-called pure relationship!"
He pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "If you really want to, I advise you to look at Ou Xin. She is a good girl. Don't touch Zhou Xiaobai. Otherwise, there will be a big uproar."
"Thank you for your useless reminder." Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked, "It's the weekend. Do you have anything else to say besides complaining and threatening me? If not, get out of here—"
The complaints and sighs are real, the threats are not real, but they do serve as reminders.
Of course, it is not to remind Li Xuewu to pay attention to the impact of personal problems.
Huang Gan knew that he did not have the ability to make the colorful flags flutter outside, but he knew that Li Xuewu did.
He would never cross the line and remind Li Xuewu. He was just making trouble and wanted Li Xuewu not to tell anyone about this and let Su Youfang hear it.
It is certainly not good to say it openly, but when Zhou Xiaobai was riding on Li Xuewu's thigh, he just said this to Li Xuewu.
That's why they say people are so cunning and they deserve to be trapped by love.
"What? You want to chase me away now?"
Huang Gan leaned his elbows on the desk, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Did you go to Fengcheng?"
"You're all back now, what year of the lunar calendar are you living in?"
Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Why? What do you think of Fengcheng?"
"No, I have no idea about Fengcheng, but I have an idea about the Red Star Factory that will soon be making a big splash in Fengcheng." Huang Ganji rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you going to build a branch factory in Fengcheng?"
"What do you mean? If you have something to say, then you should say it. When did you become so slow?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have the idea of going to Fengcheng, or has someone found you and wants to do something?"
"Have you heard of Liming Factory? It's a subsidiary of the aerospace industry system."
Huang Gan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Their factory is also engaged in motorcycle production."
"The one from the former Fengtian Arsenal?"
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you working on aviation turbine engines?"
"Your factory is also engaged in food processing!" Huang Gan curled his lips and said, "According to the instructions of the superiors, we are building small factories and small schools. So those who are engaged in turbine engines cannot make motorcycles?"
"Yes, yes. I have no objection to them building a train."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did they find you? Why did they come to me in a roundabout way?"
"My father's old comrade-in-arms, now he is the deputy director of the Liming Factory."
Huang Gan explained softly, "He came to Beijing for a meeting, and my father invited him to dinner at home. During the meal, he was talking about the Red Star Factory going to Liaodong."
"Then what? Did you brag to them?" Li Xuewu asked with a raised eyebrow, "I'm just the deputy director of the security department. You didn't tell them that you know the head of the Red Star Factory? Did you promise to do anything for them?"
"Am I that stupid?"
Huang Gan raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Liming Factory is working on turbine engines. They are masters in this technology."
"Your factory is also engaged in engine production and research, isn't this an opportunity—"
"You must be mistaken!"
Li Xuewu looked at him and reminded him: "Ours is the engine of a car, it won't go into the sky."
"Don't fool me with this. I've read in the newspaper and I know that the Liming Factory produces aviation turbojet engines."
He pointed at Huang Gan and said, "They are both called engines, but they are completely different things. Our car can't fly even if we put wings on it."
"We can communicate with each other——!"
Huang Gan tapped the table and whispered, "Germany's Bavaria Motor used to produce aircraft engines."
"Are you sick? You're comparing technology from the 1930s to today's technology?"
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't beat around the bush with me. What's going on?"
"Motorcycles. The motorcycles that Liming Factory is working on have run into problems."
Huang Gan confessed: "They developed an engine using the same idea as aircraft engines."
“But, without a motorcycle prototype to match, the production pressure is huge.”
Huang Gan explained to Li Xuewu: "My father's comrade-in-arms has learned about the automotive industry that Red Star Factory is developing, especially your supply chain system. He has some ideas and wants to talk to you."
"Just talk, why do you have to come to me?"
Li Xuewu asked: "Is there something unspeakable, or is there something not in compliance with the regulations?"
"As for the affiliation issue, they want to meet you in Liaodong, but it's not a good idea to bring it up with Liaodong Industry."
Huang Gan explained: "If they were to perform on the stage set up by Liaodong Industry, not only would they be the main attraction, but it would also be embarrassing if we were to reach an agreement with you."
"So, he took the opportunity to come home and mentioned it to me."
"Of course, I didn't say that we have a good relationship, nor did I mention your identity in the Red Star Factory." Huang Gan was afraid that Li Xuewu would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain: "They came to me on their own and know your situation."
"Am I so famous?"
Li Xuewu sat back in his chair and asked, "How did the other party know me, and how did he know that you and I are friends?"
"I don't know. The other party didn't tell me." Huang Gan spread his hands and said, "After all, he is my elder. How can I ask him?"
"besides--"
He pointed at Li Xuewu and reminded him, "Don't you have a clear understanding of yourself? Do you still think you are a young platoon leader who just returned from military service?"
"Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you."
"Stop using such nonsense. You are doing this wrong."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, looked at Huang Gan seriously and said, "If the other party is still waiting for your reply, just reply to him. If there is any cooperation, you can contact Red Star Factory through formal channels."
"Red Star Factory's door to external cooperation has always been open, and we welcome brother units from the industrial system across the country to visit us."
"What do you mean?"
Huang Gan frowned slightly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You should understand what the other party meant by coming here in private, right?"
"I understand, so this must be done."
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes, pointed at him and said, "Don't talk about reputation. I'm just an ordinary security officer. If it's beyond my reach, I won't talk to you about it."

On weekends, the club even held a salon.
The word "Salon" is a literal translation and an imported word. It originally referred to the luxurious reception rooms in the homes of the French upper class.
Since the 17th century, celebrities in Paris (mostly ladies of high socialite status) have often turned their living rooms into famous social venues.
Those who come and go are mostly playwrights, novelists, poets, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers and politicians.
They share similar interests, gather together, sip drinks, enjoy elegant music, and chat freely.
Later, people called this type of gathering "Salon", which became popular in the cultural circles of Europe and the United States. The 19th century was its heyday.
The 19th century was a time when the Chinese people learned advanced foreign technologies in order to defeat them and opened their eyes to the world.
The awakened generation went to Europe to study, and while learning technology, culture, and ideas, they also brought this social culture back to China.
A more interesting historical anecdote, our wife’s living room, this is familiar to everyone.
Although it is an opposite irony, it actually reflects the social form of intellectuals at that time.
After coming to China, the salon did not undergo a complete transformation, but remained in the daily activities of intellectuals in a form that conforms to the characteristics of the times and culture.
With the development and progress of the times, this social activity gradually expanded downward and became a cultural characteristic.
Of course, the main foundation of the salon has not changed with the expansion.
Generally, only people with a high level of education or a certain social status can organize or participate in it.
Farmers in the village will never show up at a salon, let alone hold a salon.
Of course, chatting and gossiping in the village is not a salon.
A salon still has some characteristics of a conference, and mainly refers to a small-scale, brief, informal meeting where outstanding individuals in the industry gather together for discussions.
Usually there are drinks, sugar and tea, or there are singing and dancing performances and other activities.
The authentic "Salon" has the following characteristics:
1. Held regularly;
2. The time is at night, because the lights can often create a hazy, romantic beauty, arousing the interest, conversation and inspiration of the participants;
3. There are not many people, it is a small circle, usually celebrities;
4. Voluntary combination, in twos and threes, with a wide range of topics, very elegant, free discussion, and everyone expressing their own opinions;
5. There is usually a beautiful salon hostess.
There are two types of salons in the club. One is a dinner salon hosted by Dongfeng Club and most of the participants are club members.
In the club's salon, the above five characteristics are truly possessed, and the effect is valuable to both the organizers and participants.
The other is a cultural salon organized by Youth Forum for outstanding young representatives to participate.
The salon at the Youth Forum is simple, with no banquets or performances.
However, the core theme was relatively clear, and the Youth Forum members attending the conference were also very energetic and positive.
As a member of Youth Forum, Li Yuanchao would never miss such salons.
He would rather give up showing off his motorcycle with his little brothers, and even give up various activities among veterans.
Li Yuanchao only participated in one salon event, but he could clearly feel that the young people here were much more advanced than those in his circle.
It's not just about status. In this circle, people never talk about where to go for fun or showing off or bragging.
Everyone talked about culture, ideas and progress, and talked about the situation, development and opportunities.
The organizer, Zuo Jie, treated them to tea, drinks and various snacks. He spoke very openly and took the initiative to help everyone solve problems and troubles.
All this help and hospitality were not paid for by Zuo Jie himself, but were provided by Youth Club’s activity funds.
Li Yuanchao also has his own way of making money, but compared with Zuo Jie, it is nothing up to par.
Zuo Jie is the person in charge of Youth Forum, but he also has other jobs and careers. In this small circle, he is definitely a big brother figure.
It was just like this last year. Zuo Jie was nearly beaten to death in front of the Six Nations Hotel. Now who dares to say that Zuo Jie is not treated as a big shot?
Li Yuanchao is number one outside, among the veterans in the old army of Sijiu City, and even among the stubborn ones.
But here, he couldn't stand at all, so he had to move to the back row and stand back.
Since he can't even get to the front of the queue, why is he still so actively participating in the Youth Forum's activities?
Only once did he say he wanted to buy a motorcycle, the new one produced by the Red Star Factory.
What a pity, you can’t buy it without a note.
As a result, Zuo Jie not only got him a note, but also gave him a discount of 50 yuan. What a great honor!
From that moment on, Li Yuanchao knew that for some things, fists and brothers alone were not enough.
Even though his background is better than Zuo Jie's, it only means that he is qualified to control these resources.
But it will be useless if you don’t have the ability to control these resources.
Those people who follow him are definitely not as good as him. If they are worse than him, it’s just that he is following them.
How can you make any progress or achieve anything if you hang out with people who are worse than you all day long?
After joining the Youth Forum, he was like a toad in a well seeing the sky.
At the very least, he learned to recognize his own resources and how to use them.
To be more realistic, that time he brought his brothers, called Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin, and relied on their courage and status to break in, but ended up getting beaten up.
When he visited again as a member of the Youth Forum, the guards saluted him.
The respect that could not be obtained through fists and feet was obtained through another form.
The door that the tyrants could not break through was entered in another form.
As soon as he entered the gate on his motorcycle, he saw the Fourth Master mentioned by the East City gangsters - Zhao Laosi.
-
You mentioned Zhao Laosi, but no one is willing to take up the issue now. Maybe they will even find someone to beat you up.
Because the three words "Zhao Laosi" are a great name among the gangsters in Dongcheng.
Although he had no territory and no brothers, he was the big brother of all the gang leaders and everyone called him "Fourth Brother" when they saw him.
Even though Zhao Laosi always emphasized that he was just a gatekeeper, who would believe him?
The gatekeeper wears a Zhongshan suit, executive attire, a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes?
See the gateman wave his hand and a dozen guards rush out?
If the gatekeeper is so awesome, then they also want to watch the gate.
In fact, it’s not the gangsters’ fault for not believing it. Even Zhao Laosi’s brother Zhao Laoliu almost didn’t believe it.
Li Xuewu knew that Zhao Laosi brought his two brothers in to serve as security guards.
At that time, Zhou Changli was guarding the gate alone, and according to Li Xuewu's request, he called a few brothers over.
Zhao Laosi is one of them, and the one Zhou Changli relies on the most.
When Zhou Changli went to the northeast, Zhao Laosi chose to stay in the club.
He also blatantly abused his power for personal gain and brought his two brothers in for dinner.
Yes, there was no salary at that time, but it was just about eating.
Later, Zhao Laowu was spotted by Li Xuewu, who gave him an important position and sent him to the frontier to serve as a guard.
Now there are only two brothers left in the club: the eldest brother Zhao Laosi and the third brother Zhao Laoliu.
Zhao Laoliu is more flexible than Zhao Laowu and not as stupid.
Of course, this is also related to the personal instruction and guidance of his elder brother.
Besides, the knowledge gained in the club can also let the kids in the alley know what a cadre is.
Zhao Laoliu knew that those wearing Zhongshan suits were cadres.
Later, the club introduced executive suits, and he knew that those who wore executive suits were cadres.
It's summer now, so those who wear white short-sleeved shirts, black trousers and black leather shoes are naturally cadres.
However, he later found out that people wearing this kind of clothes are not necessarily cadres.
Because that's what his brother has been wearing recently.
"What are you looking at? Go to work!"
When Zhao Laosi saw his younger brother looking at him with squinted eyes, he glared at him and chased him away.
Zhao Laoliu was not afraid of his brother. He winked at his elder brother and asked, "Brother, where did you get all this? Did you steal the clothes from a member?"
"Get lost!"
Zhao Laosi felt uncomfortable wearing this outfit. If anyone looked at him for a long time, he would feel numb all over and his ears would feel hot.
Others don’t dare to scold him, but how can you spoil your own brother?
"Don't talk if you don't know how to talk. Just do what you need to do--!"
"Who did you get this outfit from? Get me one too."
Zhao Laoliu, relying on his young age, dared to confront his elder brother. He approached and said enviously: "Look at what you are wearing. You really look like a cadre."
"What do you mean by like? I am a cadre!"
Zhao Laosi slapped his brother with a stick, signaling him to leave quickly, and said, "Don't stand in front of me and get in the way. Go to work."
"When did you become a cadre?"
Zhao Laoliu looked at his brother curiously and asked, "The security captain you appointed yourself?"
There is an old saying in the underworld: the person who pierces your heart is definitely your brother.
For Zhao Laosi, the one who hurts his heart is his own brother.
He made a great decision and spent a long time mentally preparing himself to buy this cadre uniform despite his shame.
In fact, I bought it secretly in April, but I never had the courage to wear it.
Why?
Because there are so many cadres here, everyone knows his identity.
He really didn't have the courage to make a fool of himself in front of these members. What if he was laughed at?
Put green onions in the pig's nose to pretend to be handsome.
A small gangster on the street, who has gained some face by being a gatekeeper, dares to wear the uniform of an official?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just this pair of leather shoes, not everyone can afford it.
The title of security captain that Zhao Laosi gave himself did not count, but Li Xuewu allowed him to be the chief of the security department.
Yu Li also acknowledged it and gave him the right to manage and train waiters.
As for salary, it is not as good as that of other section chiefs. No one tells us whether his rank is section chief or deputy section chief, or even section chief or something.
In the club, there is no such thing as job levels, and wages are set according to work conditions.
Zhao Laosi now earns 25 yuan a month, which provides him with food, shelter and clothing. Compared with a first-level worker who earns 32 yuan outside, it is more than enough.
His 25 yuan is pure profit, while the 25 yuan of a first-class worker outside has to be deducted for food, clothing, housing and transportation every month.
The club officially opened on May 1st, and Zhao Laosi officially took office on that day as well.
Today is June 1st. Yu Li is very good at encouraging employees. The wages were not paid in June but at the end of May.
So, even though today is the first day of June, Zhao Laosi has already received his salary for May, which is also his first time to receive salary.
25 yuan, he spent 12 yuan to buy a pair of leather shoes, and spent 33 yuan to buy a shirt and pants.
You said Zhao Laosi is not good at math?
How can you spend a 25 yuan salary to achieve the effect of 45 yuan?
"Brother, let me tell you something."
Zhao Laoliu saw his brother frowning and didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He smiled and said, "I want to go across the street to eat a bowl of mutton offal noodles. Can you give me some money?"
"Or, you can give me my salary." He stretched out his hand, motioned to his brother, and said, "I want to see my first salary, what that 20 yuan looks like."
"What else could it look like? Haven't you seen money?"
Zhao Laosi waved his hand and said, "The money is on me. I will save it for you and give it to you when you need it in the future."
"Then let me see it."
Zhao Laoliu begged, "I have never seen a 20-yuan bill before."
"Get lost, you're teasing me, right?"
Zhao Laosi glanced at his brother and said, "The money is with me, don't worry, it won't be lost."
"What can you do if you show me?"
Seeing his brother prevaricating, Zhao Laoliu felt that something was wrong, and asked with wide eyes, "Brother, did you spend my money?"
"I'm telling you, the money is with me!"
Zhao Laosi reached into his trouser pocket, shook it and said, "See? Let's go back to work!"
"no--!"
Zhao Laoliu reached into his brother's trouser pocket, but felt nothing!
"Where's my money? Where's my salary?"
-
"Yo——the aid from North Korea is coming!"
Zuo Jie came from the management office carrying a book. Seeing Li Yuanchao had arrived early again, he greeted him.
Li Yuanchao glanced at the bustle at the door, parked his motorcycle, walked over with a smile and responded, "We just got here. It hasn't started yet, right?"
He first glanced into the flower hall and saw several figures.
"No, you're always the first one to arrive."
Zuo Jie smiled and waited for him at the door. He pointed to the parking lot and asked, "How's the motorcycle? Is it comfortable to ride?"
"It's really nice, especially on a hot day with this whistling wind."
Li Yuanchao smiled at Zuo Jie and asked, "I see you're still riding a bicycle. You helped me get a ticket, why don't you get one for yourself?"
"I don't need it. I have to get gasoline. It's troublesome."
Zuo Jie smiled and pointed to the cars in the parking lot and said, "If you have business, you can ask Sister Yu for a car. Our home is not far from here, so a bicycle is enough."
"I said—"
Li Yuanchao was quite good at handling things. He took the initiative to hand Zuo Jie a cigarette and said with a smile: "I haven't had time to thank you for helping me get the ticket last time."
"Stop, let's not talk about this."
Zuo Jie took his cigarette and said to him with a smile: "It's just a side job for me to help you. Brother Wu gave me a few notes. It doesn't matter who I give them to."
"But this is a big deal for me. I have looked for many people but failed to get the job."
Li Yuanchao lit his cigarette for him and glanced at the cars in the parking lot. He was envious in his heart, but he complimented him: "Don't underestimate this little thing, it's really likable."
"As far as I know, the first people in the city who rode it were all well-known and prominent. I am especially lucky because of you."
"Hahaha - as long as you like it, there's no need to be polite between us."
Zuo Jie imitated Li Xuewu's behavior and asked with a hearty smile: "Why? From what you said, it seems that people in Sijiu City who ride this thing are awesome?"
"Why not? Five hundred dollars!"
Li Yuanchao raised his eyebrows and said, "You can buy it if you have money? Even I can't get a ticket, you can imagine how rare this thing must be."
"I heard that it will take some time for the Red Star Factory to start official production. Whoever gets to ride it first will have connections, connections, and face."
As he said this, he gently touched Zuo Jie with the back of his hand holding the cigarette and winked at his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Zuo Jie also laughed.
The two of them stood at the door and started smoking, and their relationship gradually became closer.
Li Yuanchao pointed to the flower hall behind him and said with a smile: "I don't know about others, but you are considered the most important person in the city."
"Not only can we deal with the police on motorcycles, our youth gathering is also unique."
"This is nothing, just a small fight."
Zuo Jie said modestly: "I told you all at the beginning that this is a platform for us to get to know each other, to learn from each other, to help each other, and to improve and progress together."
"We are all young people and we all need channels to exercise and learn. I just happen to have this resource, so I want to share it with everyone and improve it."
He pointed in the direction behind him and said, "We are still in the learning stage. If we really want to talk about something impressive, it has to be the office of the management department."
"When we can sit in the office and talk to those big brothers about our thoughts and situations, that's when we can really be awesome."
"Yeah, what do those big brothers like?"
Li Yuanchao often comes here to play, so he naturally knows the identities of the members in the club.
Of course, deputy director level and director level officials cannot scare him, because his father is of a higher rank.
However, a bunch of people at the lowest deputy section level gathered together, all of them young cadres, which made him envious.
Not everyone has these resources.
He knew that Zuo Jie was related to Li Xuewu, so he asked directly: "Do you like motorcycles? Cars? Or something advanced?"
"No, the big brothers don't like to play with motorcycles, and they are not allowed to drive cars."
Zuo Jie smiled and shook his head, saying, "Big brother likes to play with boats."
"Boat? The kind you see in the park?"
Li Yuanchao was a little confused for a moment. He never expected that his elder brother's hobbies were so special, or childish, or weird?
"Hahaha--!"
His words made Zuo Jie laugh so loudly that Li Yuanchao was stunned.
"Of course not the kind of boats in the park, what are you thinking!"
Zuo Jie laughed enough, reached out and patted his arm, and said, "Ship, the kind of big ship that sails on the sea, a yacht, a luxury yacht, the kind of ship you can eat, drink and have fun on."
After explaining, looking at Li Yuanchao's confused state, he smiled and tilted his head, saying: "When you have the chance, follow me on the boat and you will know."
It seemed like Zuo Jie was bragging when he said this, after all, he had never been there, but his girlfriend had been there.
Telling Li Yuanchao this was not intentional bragging, but a display of strength. Showing just the tip of the iceberg could make the team more united and close-knit.
It would be impossible to suppress a leader like Li Yuanchao without some tricks.
"Let's go in first."
He put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. Without saying much to Li Yuanchao, Zuo Jie gestured for them to go into the hall together.
Li Yuanchao was a step slower than him. When he threw the cigarette butt, he was still thinking about Zuo Jie's words.
A ship, a ship going out to sea, eating, drinking and having fun, what does this represent?
At least he has no such experience, and he has no idea what a luxury yacht looks like.
Following Zuo Jie, I entered the flower hall. It was still decorated as usual. There was orange soda and tea on the tea table at the door for everyone to help themselves.
Resisting the urge to grab the soda, he followed Zuo Jie's example, picked up a cup of tea and walked to the seat by the window.
"Zhou Xiaobai, do you know him?"
Zuo Jie saw him coming over and introduced them to each other with a smile: "You two should know each other, right? The compound is not far away."
"Yes, we are classmates."
Li Yuanchao certainly knew Zhou Xiaobai, and he also knew that Zhou Xiaobai was a member of Youth Club, but it was the first time they met at the party.
He took the initiative to greet Zhou Xiaobai who turned around and said, "Old classmate, long time no see."
"What do you mean it's been a long time? I ran into you guys at the gate last month."
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Are Uncle Li and Aunt Wang doing well?"
"Still the same, busy every day."
Seeing that she asked about her parents, Li Yuanchao also asked Zhou Xiaobai: "What are you busy with now?"
"Xiao Bai, start a business in Tianjin."
Zuo Jie introduced her with a smile: "You can call her General Manager Zhou now."
