Speaking of Li Hao's side, he had already walked to a busy street not far from the train station.
Director Li has briefly introduced the environment here before. He only needs to find a hotel to stay for two days and inquire about it, and then find the right person to pay a sum of money. Then he can take a boat from Kowloon to Hong Kong in an open and honest manner.
The environment in the three places is similar, but the hk side was built earlier and has better conditions. It is a good place to make a fortune.
No one will care about his household registration and other issues there. As long as he has money, he can live, and he will even make a fortune soon.
Li Hao readjusted his mentality and took a deep breath. The past was past and he could not restore it. Looking at the bustling streets and the blue sky, he was ready to start a new life and walked forward proudly.
It was a four-story flat-roofed hotel, and there was a metal-framed red plaque hanging on the door with the four characters "Baiyun Hotel" written on it.
Compared with rural mud houses and even some old places in Sijiu City, this kind of building is not less prosperous.
As if hinting at a better tomorrow!
"Store, get a room!"
In front of the counter, an old man with golden eyes raised his head. When he heard Li Hao's accent, he tried to slow down his speech and correct his tone.
"Two yuan a day, how many days do you want to stay?"
As expected of someone who is in the hotel business, he is well-informed and his voice is almost the same as that of Li Hao. This is professionalism.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Hao to understand Cantonese with a 60-year-old accent.
“Stay for two days!”
After Li Hao finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, but as soon as he put his hand into the pocket, his expression froze. He groped inside the chest pocket again, and could only touch flat fabric.
No?
How can it be?
I remember that when I paid the bill for the last time, I made sure to put the money away, and I checked it before getting off the car.
Where is my money?
Where did it go?
After being confused for a while, Li Hao instantly discovered something suspicious. He only had contact with Lao Xing after getting off the bus, and the two still walked out of the train station arm in arm. If anyone could take away his money, then it would be Lao Xing except Lao Xing.
There is no one else except Xing!
Thinking of this, Li Hao suddenly became furious. Fortunately, he invited this person to dinner on the train. He never thought that he would encounter a pickpocket!
There was so much hatred in his heart!
But it's not easy to get angry in other people's hotels now.
After repeatedly admonishing himself to solve it, Li Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and began to remove the threads on his clothes. At the same time, he felt a little proud. What about pickpockets? Who would only carry ten dollars when going out?
There was also money in the middle of his clothes!
He was proud for not even a second, and his face suddenly turned pale. Tong Jiaojiao had sewed the pocket for him, but now the person sewing the clothes was in Sijiu City, and he was in Guangzhou, and they were two thousand miles apart!
I don’t know when we met, and we may never see each other again in our lifetime.
Li Hao slowly opened it, his face was very heavy, and he reluctantly pulled all the threads away. He groped inside gently, and the next second his expression changed drastically, and there was nothing!
How can it be?
At this moment, he was thinking too much, and a terrible thought came out of his heart. Could it be that Tong Jiaojiao was responsible for all this? Did she take the money away?
"Four yuan for two days. Breakfast is provided in the store. Ordering is extra. Guests should pay four yuan in advance, right?" The old man with gold-rimmed glasses spoke slowly. When he turned around, he was startled by Li Hao.
Because Li Hao sat down on the ground and immediately began to take off his shoes. After taking off his shoes, he looked at the black insole. He stared for three seconds, and then he took off his clothes directly.
"You have to do it!"
The old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses shouted sternly, with an authentic local accent, 'What are you doing!'
Of course Li Hao didn't understand. He unbuttoned his belt, bent down, and began to fumble for the inner pocket under his crotch, but there was nothing inside.
The waiter who heard the shopkeeper's call quickly ran out and saw Li Hao unpacking his baggage like crazy. At this moment, he no longer wanted to let so many people see so much money here. Is it wrong? He just wanted to
Are you sure your money is there or not?
His speed was very fast, and in just two seconds the two layers of baggage had been completely opened. What came into view was a pile of yellow paper, the size of which was equivalent to a ten-yuan note. There were more than ten bundles in total, but when it came to money, it was not enough
No.
At this moment, Li Hao felt like he was possessed!
Where is his money?
He obviously checked before going to the train station, but he didn't let go for a moment during the journey. Why did it suddenly disappear?
If we say that Tong Jiaojiao’s hands and feet are inside the clothes, what’s going on inside this baggage?
Li Hao took a stack of yellow paper without belief, directly pulled down the binding rope, reached out and twisted it, and the bundle of yellow paper unfolded like a fan.
There is no doubt that they are all of the same type of paper.
But there was also an unexpected one. Li Hao quickly took it out, and it turned out that the yellow paper was still yellow paper, but this one had three more powerful calligraphy characters on it, 'Where is my money?'
Li Hao went crazy after seeing it!
"What are you doing? Why don't you put on your clothes quickly?" the waiter shouted as he ran over and grabbed Li Hao.
Li Hao pushed the person aside with a flick of his arm, and looked at the yellow papers again like crazy. He couldn't believe that his money would be gone.
'My mentality is exploded!'
'I'm not crazy!'
'Oh my God!'
'Die!'
'Grass mud horse!'
'Who fucked me!'
Various words perfectly explained Li Hao's current mood, which was another heavy blow.
This is not theft, this is deliberate subversion!
Yellow paper was scattered all over the ground. Li Hao sat weakly on the ground, with his belt still open. He looked at the wood beside him as if he was a fool, as if he was wondering if it would hurt to pretend to be dead.
Such a gesture also frightened the waiter and asked him, "Shopkeeper, is he possessed by a demon?" The waiter's mouth was still trembling as he spoke.
The shopkeeper with golden eyes hesitated to speak. He looked at the yellow paper about the size of a banknote, looked at the man's expression, looked at the big baggage, and then thought about the action of preparing to stay in the shop just now. The shopkeeper almost wanted to understand.
Well, this man got off the train, he came, and the money was gone!
Looking at the yellow paper on the ground, the shopkeeper felt a little trembling in his heart. This was a lot of money! This is a big deal for him!
For a while, he did not dare to deal with Xu Damao anymore, and the atmosphere fell into stagnation.
After a while, a middle-aged couple walked in after saying this. The man was dressed in formal clothes and had a serious face, with smooth mid-length hair. The woman had a rich figure and well-dressed clothes, with a string of shiny gold necklaces hanging on her chest.
The two of them traveled lightly and did not bring much with them, so it seemed that their identities were not simple.
"I really don't understand, what kind of business are you doing with the mainland? The mainland currency is worthless, and it's troublesome to use it when doing business with others. What can you buy from here?" The plump woman complained, seeming to want to
I don’t understand why my man wants to do this kind of business that is almost losing money. What can I do with that money?
The man in formal clothes frowned with a stern face and did not explain anything. He knew that the woman just complained and did not understand justice. Even if he explained the matter clearly to her, she would not understand or agree with him, and she would also tell her.
He is complaining about something else. The best thing to do in this situation is to let her talk and stop talking when she has said enough.
After just two steps, he noticed something strange inside the hotel. The yellow paper on the floor and Li Hao's expression were really full of stories.
"Oh, what a bad luck." The plump woman fanned herself in front of her with a look of disgust. She frowned and pulled the man away, "We don't live here anymore. Burning paper to a place like this! It's true!"
The man in formal attire did not move. He looked around the hotel and carefully observed Li Hao. After confirming Li Hao's condition, he nodded and turned around to follow the woman outside.
The young waiter reacted when he saw this, and trotted forward quickly, "Guest, please listen to my explanation, this person has nothing to do with our hotel..."
"Needless to say!" The plump woman suddenly became angry, "We won't live here today, we are spreading yellow paper in broad daylight..." They both muttered, and the two left.
The waiter turned around with a wry smile. The hotel owner just shook his head and looked at Li Hao. He looked very troubled. It was really unlucky for something like this to happen in his store, but this man lost a lot of money.
He was also worried that it involved himself.
This business must continue, and the innkeeper is ready to deal with it quickly, "Young man, what's wrong with you?"
Li Hao recovered slightly and murmured: "It's gone, it's all gone."
When the hotel owner heard this, his scalp went numb. He saw the yellow paper bundled just now. The pile was at least as thick as 100 pieces of money. To facilitate counting, it was probably 100! A pile was 1,000 yuan! Before
There are also more than a dozen bundles! This is too much money!
"Things have already happened. If you ask me, you should calm down and think about what to do next. People still have to look forward."
Hearing this, Li Haotong's eyes suddenly tightened, "Fourth Uncle! I have to tell Fourth Uncle!"
Li Hao muttered, "My fourth uncle asked me to write a letter and email a phone number after I settled down. I just had to hold on until my fourth uncle got the phone."
Director Li's phone numbers were all from the factory. Since Li Hao ran away, he had to stay away from Li Hao in person. Otherwise, how could he hang around in the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant if his nephew who was involved ran away?
Director Li did not dare to leave the factory phone number, so he could only ask Li Hao to write to him and give him a phone number. He would then contact him based on the situation.
Li Hao's voice was so low when he said this, "If my fourth uncle can give me so much money, he will definitely leave a lot. If the money is less, then I will walk slower. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Even now, he doesn't know who plotted against him. It's very strange to think about Xu Damao's sudden appearance, but now he is more thinking about how to live on his own?
He kept comforting himself that he had left his wife and children in Sijiu City in order to go out and have fun. If the money was gone, then his sacrifice would be too great. Not only would he lose his life, but it would also be difficult to live in the future.
There is no way he can go back to Sijiucheng, and it is difficult to buy a train ticket. He doesn't even have an identity here, and he can't get a letter of introduction, so he can't buy a train ticket.
He doesn't even dare to go back now. Who knows if that guy Xu Damao will go crazy and bite him to death? Once his relationship with Tong Jiaojiao is revealed, it will be really blind.
At this point, Li Hao almost reached a dead end.
Li Hao was silent. The hotel owner didn't want to cause trouble. The waiter didn't guess what was going on but he knew it was not a trivial matter, so he didn't dare to say anything.
The hotel fell into silence again.
Inexplicably, Li Hao turned to look at the innkeeper. It happened that the innkeeper also peeked over at this time.
The two looked at each other, and the innkeeper's scalp went numb instantly. This is a problem!
The hotel owner quickly turned his head to the side, but a shrill whimper came from the side, "Boss, you have to help me!"
Li Hao's body was full of strength now, and he swooped down and hugged the innkeeper's thigh.
He really has no job now. He has no money and no identity. He is an intruder in this area, let alone finding a job. With a proper black household registration, what kind of bicycle does he need?
If a normal person had his money stolen, he could still report it to the police station, but Li Hao was planning to sneak across the country, and the money came from a shady source. He dared to go to the police? He was afraid that he would be arrested and taken back to Sijiu City.
For the current plan, Li Hao could only ask his boss for help. At least he found the missing money here!
Listening to the pitiful howling, the innkeeper had a twisted look on his face, and sure enough, he still stuck with him.
The hotel owner comforted him with an awkward look on his face, "You can go to the police station and maybe they can help you find him." He was evasive inside and out, and he didn't dare to mention the money at all.
"There are so many people on the train, it's impossible to find me. My fourth uncle gave me all his belongings just to let me make a career here. I really have no shame in living. Boss, please help me."
..." Li Hao shouted with a cry.
The hotel owner was numb all over. How could he withstand this kind of torture at his age? The sudden blindness made him feel dizzy.
"Stop shaking! Stop shaking!"
Li Hao was only half-crying and half-acting. He was always paying attention to the boss's expression. When he saw someone was going to have a problem, he cried less and didn't dare to mess around anymore.
Since then, the hotel owner has gotten better and asked very aggrievedly: "How can I help you?"
There was quite a commotion in the hotel, and now a group of people had gathered around him. He didn't want to make the situation a big deal, and wanted to deal with it quickly.
Li Hao's mind was also spinning rapidly at this moment. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. He thought for a while and found the only way he could do it. "I'll write to my fourth uncle. As long as my fourth uncle knows about my situation, he will definitely find a way."
Help me."
At this point, he quickly added, "After meeting the thief, I am completely broke here. I beg my boss to take me in! Otherwise, I will starve to death!"
The worker next to him looked even more hostile. He was trying to steal his job!
The hotel owner also looked embarrassed, but when he thought that this man was gone with such lost money, and there was a fourth uncle behind him, he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. After all, the money was not in his hotel, so he couldn't be involved in such a big matter.
to him.
"In this way, you can work as a temporary clerk in the hotel, and I can give you money to write a letter to your fourth uncle." The hotel owner finally agreed to his request, and then added: "The money for writing the letter will be spent on you.
I’ll use my salary as an advance. Are you willing?”
In business, it is okay to let him recruit workers, but let him take money? This is not okay!
"I do, I do." Li Hao agreed quickly. He couldn't even eat now, and he had a job to save his life. How dare he not agree?
He had understood the environment here before. Some people who wanted to smuggle into the country had no identity, no skills, no culture, and their work was just like an animal. They could work as odd jobs in the hotel, which made it easier.
If you go to the dock like a slave to carry sacks and eat the chaff, it will be really fatal.
Seeing him, the hotel owner gave Li Hao a meaningful look, and he agreed so simply, forgetting about the money loss?
If a normal person loses so much money, even if he can't get it back, he still has to try and report it to the police station. It's better here, just think of it as throwing it away!
How much do you not care about your own money? Are you getting it for nothing?
"Okay, you two tidy up this place, and Xiao Zhang will help him get familiar with it."
Li Hao felt that the hotel owner's eyes were inexplicably penetrating, so he quickly lowered his head and started picking up the yellow paper.
Outside the hotel, a young man quietly left after seeing the dust settle here, found a telephone booth and walked straight in.
