Hong Xue didn't go to class in the morning. She was busy dealing with gang affairs. When the bell was about to ring in the afternoon, she came to school carrying her schoolbag. She happened to meet Ling Cang. She almost didn't think about it and smashed her schoolbag. Past: "Go on."
Ling Cang had just eaten at Sikong You's place and was thinking about something when he suddenly noticed a dark object flying towards him. Ling Cang was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it: "Hey, I'm no longer your follower. Yes. Why did you ask me to get your schoolbag?"
"I'm used to it." Hong Xue said expressionlessly. Then she walked into the school gate swaggeringly.
Ling Cang once wanted to throw Hong Xue's schoolbag into the trash can, but he didn't dare. In desperation, he just followed behind. He kept repeating: "I am the waiter's son, Master Shen's life..."
Hong Xue walked for a while, then suddenly turned back and said with a strange expression: "I have something to ask you."
"What."
"You'd better answer honestly."
"OK."
"Did you... meet an ice dragon a few days ago?"
"Who is the Ice Dragon?" Ling Cang pretended to be confused and scratched his head: "Do I know this person?"
"That's the person you were gambling with. My subordinate."
"Oh. I met him." Ling Cang nodded: "We had a fight."
"you win."
"Of course." Ling Cang looked at Hong Xue warily: "You don't want to avenge him, do you?"
"It's okay. I just asked." Hong Xue took back her schoolbag and returned to the classroom without saying anything else.
Ling Cang has always felt strange about Binglong's performance that day.
Ever since Hong Yi was released from prison and held a banquet in a hotel, many of Hong Ming's bosses had gotten to know him. They were very polite and respectful to him when they met him by chance. He accompanied Jiang Wenxuan when he went out to buy a car, and he smashed Li Gangmei's car angrily. These two things were enough. Explain your status to the Hong Ming Gang.
On the contrary, it was this ice dragon. Since he knew that he had a close relationship with the Hong family father and daughter, even if he was dissatisfied with him, at least he shouldn't get into a fight.
Ling Cang was very suspicious. In the casino that day, Binglong actually recognized who he was. But Binglong pretended not to know who he was and deliberately framed him.
He had never sinned against Binglong. Ling Cang didn't understand why Binglong behaved like this. But Ling Cang didn't think too much about it. There were too many things to worry about at the moment. An ordinary gang boss couldn't hinder him for the time being.
As for Hong Xue, she only asked Ling Cang once and never mentioned Binglong again. Quan pretended that nothing had happened. When school was over, she just walked out of school. Binglong called: "Boss, are you coming to the party tonight? .”
"Of course." Hong Xue goes to the casino once a week. Mainly to take stock of the accounts and check the work of his subordinates.
"Okay." Binglong smiled: "I bought your favorite weird noodles."
"Strange-flavored noodles. The ones from Niushikou in our hometown are the best. The ones here in Minghai are not authentic."
"Okay. Then I'll fly someone to Chengdu next time and buy you the most authentic ones."
"No need. If you want to eat, I will go back to Chengdu to eat by myself." After a pause, Hong Xue ordered coldly: "You just need to prepare the accounts."
Binglong was very disappointed. He reluctantly agreed: "Yes."
After Hong Xue rushed to the casino, she didn't say a word to Binglong and went straight to take stock of the accounts. After more than half an hour, Hong Xue put down the account book and nodded approvingly: "The profit is good. Binglong, you have taken the trouble."
"As long as I'm here, don't worry, boss." Binglong smiled triumphantly: "At the current speed, it is estimated that the profit of the place will be doubled in less than half a year."
"You've worked too hard..." Hong Xue nodded and suddenly said, "I don't think it's good for you to do so many things alone. So I want someone to help you share the burden."
Binglong was stunned for a moment: "How to share the burden."
Hong Xue did not answer. Instead, she raised her voice and shouted: "Xie San."
As soon as the office door opened, a tall and thin man walked in: "Boss Ice Dragon, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you still skating recently?"
When Binglong saw the other party, his face immediately darkened: "Why are you here?"
This man was nicknamed "Xie San" because he was the third in the family. He was always slanted whether he was sitting, standing or walking. He was also a high-ranking boss of the Hong Ming Gang and had never been on good terms with Binglong.
Xie San chuckled and pursed his lips at Hong Xue: "Follow the boss's orders."
"I decided to transfer Xie San here to help you share some work and be responsible for managing the dealers." After a pause, Hong Xue continued: "I know. You two had some conflicts in the past. Now that you are working together, it can be resolved. one time."
On the surface, it seems that the person who manages the cash and chips in the casino is the most important. In fact, the dealer is equally important. After the cash chips and other things are recorded in the account, if you cheat to gain benefits, your hands will be chopped off if you are discovered. The dealer wants to cheat but he will It's easy. If you don't find it at the time, it will be difficult to find out later.
Hong Xue's arrangement was clearly to check and balance the ice dragon through Xie San.
Binglong's face became increasingly ugly. He held back his anger and said, "Boss, I am loyal to the Hong Ming Gang. No one has the right to doubt me."
"I know." Hong Xue smiled and said with relief: "Don't think too much. Let Xiesan come over. It's really just to help you relieve the pressure. After a while, we plan to open another venue. We will still pay attention then. I'll take responsibility for you. You have your hands full."
The Hong Ming Gang does plan to open another venue. But Hong Xue can find N reasons not to fulfill his preamble. So this promise is basically just trying to satisfy his hunger. Binglong has been in the society for so many years. Of course it can be seen: "If the boss If you don't trust me, just say a word. I will hand over this situation immediately."
Hong Xue waved her hand at Xie San: "Please step away for a moment. I have something to say to Binglong." When Xie San went out and closed the door, Hong Xue said in a very kind tone: "I know. You must be in mood." But this decision was made jointly by everyone..."
"Everyone."
"Yes." Hong Xue nodded: "Although I am the boss, I still have to respect everyone's opinions."
"It doesn't matter." Binglong suddenly smiled very relaxedly: "It doesn't matter who everyone is, or who is behind my back. I just need a word from you, Boss Hong. It's no problem for me to go to the mines." .”
Hong Xue's face became a little unnatural: "I'm glad you can say that..."
"Boss..." Binglong glanced at Hong Xue and tentatively asked, "Can I call you Xue'er?"
"Only my father calls me that."
"Okay. Then I'll call you boss..." After being encouraged, Binglong continued: "Counting it all together, it should be two or three years since I became your subordinate."
"good."
"What does the boss think of me?"
"Smart and capable. Very loyal. He helped me solve a lot of problems." Hong Xue said expressionlessly: "Thanks to you guys, my dad has been in the kiln all these years. I can take care of the Hong Ming Gang." good."
"That's not what I'm talking about..."
"What is that."
"Let's not talk about the gang. Just talk about me. What does the boss think?"
"But the relationship between you and me is limited to the gang."
"Nothing else."
"What do you wish for?"
"It's been so long. Don't you know..." Binglong hesitated for a while. He took a deep breath and encouraged himself before confessing: "I like you very much."
"I like every brother. Of course, including you."
"I'm not talking about that kind of love."
"But I only have this kind of love for you. As for the rest... I'm sorry." Hong Xue had already noticed that Binglong wanted to pursue him. But before that, Hong Xue had always pretended not to know, and Binglong didn't understand either. speak out.
"You really..." Binglong was quite disappointed when he heard this: "You don't have any good impressions of me at all."
Hong Xue said one word at a time: "I'm sorry."
"There's no point in being sorry. I followed you loyally and did so many things, but I failed to win your favor..."
"Brotherhood and love are not the same thing."
"Maybe..." he smiled bitterly. Binglong suddenly asked: "Do you like the boy named Ling Cang?"
Hong Xue became very shy when she heard this: "Why...why did you say that?"
"I can see... the way you look at him is different from how you look at other people." Binglong gritted his teeth and made a loud noise. After a while, he said again: "I'm not as good as a guy from the mountains. Poor boy."
"You can't say that. You have your advantages." Hong Xue looked calm on the surface, but she was quietly prepared. She was worried that Binglong would become angry and suddenly do something detrimental to herself. She was holding a dagger. Her body was always sitting sideways. She avoided Binglong's sight with her right hand and quietly stretched her hand to her lower back. When she grasped the handle of the dagger, Hong Xue felt a little relaxed: "Speaking of Ling Cang, I just happened to I want to ask you...if you had a fight with him a few days ago."
"That's right." Binglong admitted frankly: "That boy injured a few of my younger brothers. And he behaved very arrogantly. Plus, he took away so much money from the venue last time. The brothers have never been convinced. .So I taught him a lesson."
Hong Xue sneered: "I'm afraid he taught you a lesson in turn."
Binglong never said that, but Hong Xue knew about it. The reason was very simple. There was Hong Xue's spy around Binglong. Binglong realized it immediately. Then he discovered that Hong Xue had already distrusted him: "No matter who teaches whom, .Boss, how do you know?"
Hong Xue had already prepared his words. He replied nonchalantly: "The restaurant where you were fighting was a place owned by another boss. You made the restaurant a mess. I was too embarrassed to intervene, so I had to complain to me after the incident."
"Can you tell me who the boss is?"
The Hong Ming Gang is very large and has many bosses. Except for those who have a good personal relationship or whose territories are relatively close, they often don’t know each other. So it’s normal for Binglong to ask this. It’s just what Hong Xue said. "Boss" doesn't exist at all.
