Xinzhi Bookstore, the store was looked after by an unfamiliar clerk. Lin Shaocong went to Jordan Town to work on the new store.
Lu Ming drank tea slowly and glanced at Li Xiang'er who was wandering around the bookshelf area. This God of Wealth wife was also very strange. When he said he came to the bookstore, she said he would come and have a look together so that he could change his mind on the way and stay in the hotel.
, and can’t think of any solution.
In fact, I naturally want to observe my own personality up close and prescribe the right medicine to see how to resolve this astronomical money dispute.
"Well, there are also Xia Mengbai's books?!" Li Xiang'er felt like she had found a treasure, and took out a beautifully packaged book from the bookshelf, but after looking at the price, she frowned slightly.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. The chicken soup short story he wrote in "New Life" was compiled by an editor of "New Life" into this collection. Unexpectedly, it was still very popular. He even got thousands of dollars in royalties.
He said that in this world, if he lived purely by writing articles, he would be able to live a good life, maintain a decent middle-class life, and live a very relaxed and unrestrained life.
Of course, if you were an ordinary literati, you would not even be qualified to publish an article in "New Life", let alone write casually, and become a well-known writer.
If a person has unimaginable resources, he can easily succeed in anything.
I'm afraid that if I sing even though I'm tone-deaf, I can become a popular singer in this world.
With a massive population, whether articles or songs, there are enough resources to push them in front of everyone, and with the packaging and hype, there will always be people who like them.
As for his best-selling book, which is a collection of chicken soup, it is named "Summer Dream Life" and is priced at 3 cents.
The clerk has already walked over and told Li Xiang'er that the books here are 50% off, which means you can take them away for 1 dime and 5 cents.
If it is a study book, it will be discounted.
"Okay, I'll take one!" Li Xiang'er took out dimes and cents from her purse and gave them to the clerk. Then she came to the tea table with the thin book in her hands, smelled the ink, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it.
I knew about this book from reading the newspaper, but I haven't been able to find a bookstore that sells it in the provincial capital. I'm very lucky today." The faint gloom between his brows disappeared because of his brother's big trouble.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "As long as you like it."
"Mr. Lu, it turns out that Mr. Xia Mengbai is a male gentleman. I always thought he was a female gentleman. I really didn't expect that he is from Donghai, and Mr. Lu is a member of Donghai Council and a socialite. Do you know Mr. Xia Mengbai?" Li Xiang'er was curious.
question.
Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't know him!"
Li Xiang'er chuckled and said, "Yes, a good friend of mine said that he is a friend of women. He was probably a woman in his previous life, which is why he is so delicate and sensitive. I think he doesn't have many male friends."
Lu Ming's face fell a little, and he picked up the teacup and drank tea.
"He said that life begins with your own crying and ends with the tears of others. The time in between is called happiness."
"Mr. Lu, in fact, life is short in life, don't you think so?" Li Xiang'er said and sighed softly.
Lu Ming was speechless. His chicken soup article was full of peace and love, the kind that could generate electricity with love. This was a poisonous one.
But it is true that life is short, and decades pass by in a blink of an eye. All love, hate, love, hatred, and grudges, in the end, are just dust.
However, different people have different pursuits.
Leave your own mark on history. Hundreds and thousands of years later, countless descendants will still know your name and yearn for your story. This is probably the highest pursuit of human beings.
"Ten million, one hundred million, so what!" Li Xiang'er sighed softly.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's different. If the Financial Secretary can help me allocate an interest-free loan of 100 million yuan and pay it back ten years later, then I can forgive the 10 million yuan and treat it as interest!"
Li Xiang'er was stunned for a moment and came to her senses. After all, this was not the beautiful fairy tale wonderland described by Mr. Xia Mengbai, but the ugly and dirty real world.
He sighed softly and said, "Mr. Lu, although I don't understand the loan procedures, interest rates and other terms, I also know that even if I tell the deposit and he is willing to do his best to help, it will be difficult to achieve this condition."
Lu Ming waved his hand and picked up the tea cup again.
Think about it, I went to her 109 as a "guest", and she even poured me a glass of water. I am a big man, so I can't be ungraceful.
Pointing to the row of small tea cups, he said, "Miss Li, please give me tea."
Yuluan took two steps forward, gently picked up the purple sand teapot, and poured tea into the row of small teacups with an extremely elegant posture.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Li Xiang'er didn't move the tea cup, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Lu, I hope to get your promise. Before this matter is resolved perfectly, I hope you will not do anything detrimental to Xiaoxuan.
"
Lu Ming smiled: "You are overthinking. I am a law-abiding citizen. Economic disputes must be resolved with legal weapons. Although your brother once sent someone to violently snatch the gambling agreement from me, I will not be like him."
Do that." He glanced at Li Xiang'er and asked, "Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
Li Xiang'er said nothing.
Lu Ming nodded. It seemed that after he gradually surfaced and became the real opponent of the Hu family, the Hu family's investigation of him became more and more detailed.
Well, there are some legends about the lawsuits he fought, the eradication of the White Rose Organization when he was in the prosecutor's office, and other rumors about his ruthless tactics. The Hu family must have been talking privately to add fuel to the fire and describe themselves as a villain.
In human society, even the most evil people have their own logic that makes them stand on the right side.
Therefore, it is inevitable that he will become a villain in the eyes of the Hu family.
Even if Li Xiang'er doesn't know how to participate in these topics, she must have heard of her name. That's why she is so worried about her brother and comes to talk to her in person.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at Li Xiang'er and smiled: "To be honest, aren't you afraid of danger when you come to see me alone?"
Li Xiang'er shook her head gently: "I came to Montenegro with a good friend. She also knew that I came to see you. I would call her every three hours to report that she was safe. However, after I saw Mr. Lu, I felt that Mr. Lu
It shouldn’t be detrimental to a little woman like me. Before I came out of the hotel, I called her and told her that if I don’t call after three hours, there will be no problem. It will be delayed by other things.”
Lu Ming smiled: "You are right. If you come to Longgang to meet me, then I have to protect you. If you encounter danger, I can't tell you. I don't want to stir up a hornet's nest.
The entire Hu family is going crazy and fighting against me." After a pause, "Your husband also believes in you."
"Yes, I said that if I go back to my parents' house for a few days and have my best friend as my companion, he will let me run around." A hint of sweetness appeared on Li Xianger's pretty face.
Lu Ming smiled and said to himself, maybe that's not necessarily the case. Is the sneaky figure at the door of the bookstore fake?
However, it is normal for Hu Dingjin to be worried about his wife and send someone to follow and protect her. His status has many enemies.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind him. Lu Ming and Li Xiang'er immediately fell down together, and Yu Luan was already pressing on them.
"Bang bang bang", gunfire sounded outside.
Lu Ming felt helpless. Ever since he came to Jiangning, assassinations seemed to be the norm, which made him a little numb. His heart was as calm as an ancient well. It seemed that if the root cause over there was not found, it would not be over.
I can't even drink tea to calm myself down.
From the corner of his eye, he even caught a glimpse of the man in the felt hat whom he had seen in front of the Longgang Hotel and appeared in front of the bookstore. He should be the person secretly protecting Li Xiang'er. At this time, he was shot several times and fell into a pool of blood.
, probably because of the sudden burst of gunfire, he reached for the short gun at his waist as a reflex reaction. As a result, both sides probably thought he was the other person. Since he was standing in a very conspicuous position on the street, he was probably shot by both sides at the same time.
.
He sighed softly in his heart, life is short, and the ones left in this world to suffer are his relatives and children. He died unjustly and died pitifully.
