Pandora was still locked up in Licai's basement for the time being, and Lorna said that she should wait for two more days.
Lorna walked into the crowd on the street and left. Gu He thought he could finally have some free time and fish in the fish pond, but Miss Caiyin called her to her living room on the second floor of Licai to talk.
"Xiaohe, a special commissioner from Yakuza just came here."
In the elegantly decorated living room, Ayone Kumiko asked Gu He to sit down on the fabric sofa beside a row of bamboos.
It was here that he had head-to-head contact with Pandora and received the encrypted document.
"Huh?" Gu He listened to Miss Caiyin's tone and took it seriously. What happened?
"A new job." Ayane Kumiko picked up the tea set on the coffee table and poured him a cup of tea. "Ms. Nagano is going to have a meeting with Miss Sterling. You will accompany you to attend. As Yakuza and Red Rain House
middleman."
"This." Gu He was stunned for a moment, the tea no longer tasted good, "Why is it me? What should I do..."
"Actually, it's nothing. They won't let you be present when they have secret talks, but the meeting is not just about business, there also needs to be someone to moderate the atmosphere before and after. A middleman is very necessary.
"You and Elizabeth are getting along well, and Miss Nagano is also very interested in you. She asked you to go by name this time. Before, you and Lorna were fighting Pandora outside Mrs. Meitian's shop. Mrs. Meitian saw it and was very interested in you.
He was full of praise for the 'Ten Tentacles' and told Ms. Nagano that you were an interesting new generation doll.
"As for Pandora's matter, Miss Nagano also knows about it. She said that if we are involved, we must handle it properly. Yakuza has business dealings with Pandora and cannot kill people. Don't get too involved."
Ayane Kumiko paused for a moment before saying, "We will keep Pandora for another three days at most before letting her out."
"This is no problem. Pandora and Lorna have almost reached an agreement." Gu He thought, "But..."
I have a problem!
Gu He scratched his head. With his personality integrity restored to 68%, he was no longer so bold.
Being called upon by Miss Nagano? It's over, it's over, it's over now.
He had heard who Miss Nagano was. She was younger than Miss Ayane. She was the daughter of Chairman Yakuza. She was "young and promising." This word used to describe Yakuza also meant that she was a ruthless person.
Being targeted by this ruthless man, knowing that he has a sharp weapon, and getting involved in these things...
Then he, the middleman, became a regular person in Yakuza every minute, and his goal of becoming a good person became further and further away.
"I don't really want to go..." Gu He muttered to Miss Caiyin.
Ayane Kumiko smiled and was not angry at him. She just poured another cup of tea and said:
"Xiao He, middlemen are needed on the street, but the value of middlemen comes from the relationship with all parties, especially the big forces. This relationship with Licai Fish Pond is Yakuza.
"Yakuza protects us and gives us face, so that people who ask us to work can borrow a little face. If Miss Nagano asks us to work and we can't do it well, where will the face come from? This job must be done well.
of.
"You have always wanted to retire. I know that I am the one who has retired. But what you said is not now, you have just started. Over there in the big house area, everyone is a gang member because they need an identity.
.You also need it. You are already a street dog transcendent. Many people and organizations know you. If you have no identity, it means that anyone can attack you. No matter what you think, you are not ready to retire yet.
It’s time to become the Night King first.
"Why doesn't anyone come to kill me? Because I am Qingyan, and this name can still represent something."
Gu He listened silently and drank the cup of tea poured by Miss Caiyin.
He is no longer a newbie here. In fact, he is becoming more and more aware of these street principles.
From the moment he walked into the fish pond, he was tied to the same boat as Licai Fish Pond.
And in this world, it is difficult for ordinary people to find a good way to survive.
Unless he goes to heaven, he can't retreat anywhere.
To retire well is not just about having enough money. He has to become a person and be able to open a shop on the street like Miss Ayin, Old Man Kitano, Old Man Itada, and Mrs. Mita.
"Okay." Gu He nodded and sighed, "I'll try my best to do this job."
If you just act like a cowherd and show off your cool, you shouldn't get into any trouble.
"Okay, you can do it. I'll tell you later what kind of person Ms. Nagano is and how to get along with her."
While pouring tea, Ayane Kumiko talked about another thing: "There is also a phone call I just received. Elizabeth is going to come over to Licai tonight to talk to me, and then go to the fish pond to play. You will entertain me then.
."
Huh? Gu He was immediately suspicious, Hong Yu and Yakuza, Elizabeth was so busy, why did she come to the fish pond to make friends?
It couldn't be that I wanted to see him, I should just stop by and leave.
…
By the time Gu He left Licai and returned to the fish pond, the news of Elizabeth's arrival in the evening had already been discussed at the bar.
Mainly, the Sakai brother and sister were talking expectantly, Xiuji for creative inspiration, Miss Sakai for the attraction of the handsome angel, and Lao Fan with a bad face.
At this time, as soon as Lao Fan saw Gu He, his fat face trembled angrily, and he almost cursed:
"Whoever provoked her will be responsible! I don't want to take care of it anymore."
"Haha." Sakai Shukichi drank sake from a wine bottle and said slightly drunkenly: "Old Fan, don't be so unsure of yourself. Who knows whether Miss Sterling is here just for you."
Sakai Huaqing couldn't help but feel happy, and she was afraid of offending Lao Fan, so she quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth, but she couldn't help it.
Who doesn't know that Uncle Fan has always been biased against handsome men and doesn't like others talking about his appearance. Her brother is really disgraced.
"Haha, don't drink this wine." Lao Fan's face turned darker, and he wanted to take the wine bottle from Sakai Shukichi's hand, "It's time to settle the wine debt you owe. Just three words, your brother can't pay it back."
Just pay it back."
"Don't, don't, don't." Shukichi Sakai quickly hugged Jiuzan tightly, "You said the wrong thing, you said the wrong thing. No matter what Miss Sterling does, she can't be here for you, Lao Fan."
They laughed happily, but Gu Hezhen couldn't laugh. The goose kept flapping, and Lorna started to run away again...
But this matter has already been decided.
The afternoon passed by in a hurry. When night fell and the neon lights in the streets began to flash, Gu He went to the bathroom and changed his Dongtu sportswear and casual pants into a denim look. Then he put on sunglasses, and the handsome angel appeared.
He returned to the living room and sat at the bar. The Sakai brothers and sisters were still there, as well as several other drinkers, including Lao Gou.
It was obviously Shukichi Sakai who tipped off that the old dog was coming. This guy's look tonight is Elizabeth's classic look, an orange trench coat and bell-bottom pants, but the old dog's thick body makes the clothes unattractive.
This only makes everyone more aware of how beautiful the red-haired Liz is.
"Old dog, please don't call me daddy tonight." Gu He specifically ordered, "I can't afford to embarrass that man."
"I know dad." The old dog responded, "I won't call you dad, dad."
It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, and very punctually, Elizabeth, who had just been to Licai, walked into the fish pond from the alley.
As soon as she entered the izakaya, she was stunned when she saw the appearance of the stout man at the bar.
"Red-haired Liz!" the old dog shouted, and raised an imitation electronic sword.
At this time, the sword in Elizabeth's hand emitted an electronically synthesized voice and said:
"User dissatisfaction rises and the jester mode is activated: in this city, everyone lives very freely. And a man can wear women's clothes, which means that your clothing store can do twice as much business with the same person."
At the bar, Shukichi Sakai burst out laughing, "Old dog, you don't have such a smart sword, you're too late."
Not only was there no sword, but there was also no female attendant following Elizabeth. The black trench coat brought a strong cold breath and silenced the noise in the fish pond. This was no ordinary security guard.
Gu He was stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened. Jianbao was here, and Judy was here too. Something happened...
However, what surprised him was that after Judy entered the fish pond, her eyes did not look around, and she did not have a vigilant look.
"Good evening, everyone." Elizabeth said hello, then naturally sat down at the bar, sat on the seat next to the angel, looked at Fan Debao behind the bar, her eyes were filled with respect, "Old Fan, two drinks
Sake.”
Is this Lao Fan? Judy was also sitting down, looking at the short, middle-aged man with a chubby face, a food-making genius.
This really proves an old saying from the Eastern people: people should not be judged by their appearance.
Judy didn't say anything nonsense. After taking the sake and taking a sip, Judy made a pun: "Lao Fan, your wine is very good."
"Yes." Elizabeth also took a sip of sake and looked at Lao Fan steadily, "It's very good."
Huh? Strange? Sakai Shukichi looked at Lao Fan, then at the two female guests, and then at Gu He.
Sakai Kao was also wondering why the red-haired Liz kept staring at Old Fan after she came in, but not at the angel.
"If it tastes good, just drink two more cups." Lao Fan said in a dull voice.
Everyone knows that Lao Fan always likes praise from others. No matter whether the red-haired Liz is a bank dog or a street dog, it is enough to be praised. At least they will not be kicked out now.
Two more drinks? Elizabeth thought deeply after hearing this, asking whether she could buy more wine...
She was a little unsure about what the food-preparing man meant, so she looked at the angel next to her, but there were many people around and it was difficult for both of them to talk, "Angel, I have something to ask you."
"Judy, please sit down first." Elizabeth stood up and walked to the sofa over there, where it would be more hidden.
When everyone saw this, it was only right. They really came to see the angel. This was only right.
When Gu He saw Elizabeth about to walk towards the sofa, his eyes blocked by sunglasses couldn't help but widen, and he hurriedly called out: "Elizabeth, come with me over here." He couldn't care less, that sofa was not a place to sit on.
He went up and grabbed the confused Elizabeth, walked to the small aisle, and walked all the way into the small VIP box.
As the small door of the private room closed, the buzzing chatter at the bar outside was also blocked out.
Elizabeth took a look at the simple and elegant environment in the box, and realized that this was the place for conversation.
"Angel." She said seriously, "The tonic wine I bought last time is very effective and very useful."
"Oh..." Gu He asked her to sit down on the sofa and agreed casually, but when he saw her serious face and her serious tone, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
He actually dealt with geese a lot, and whenever she had this tone...
She has probably realized it, and she has really gained something.
But, how come the wine is effective? Gu He was confused and curious, "How is it specific?"
Elizabeth thought that the angel was the apprentice of a food-preparing genius, and the master mentioned it many times, so it should not be a secret to him, so she said: "It will refresh your mind and increase your speed, even if it is temporary."
She didn't speak completely clearly, but she wasn't very secretive either. Those who knew about it would understand what was going on.
Gu He almost spit out the tea he just drank. What the hell!?
Does the fact that wine is effective mean that it is effective in neurological treatment?
He looked at Elizabeth's pious expression and already had a certain understanding of her temperament. Goose would not joke about such things, she was serious, she was serious.
No wonder she looked at Lao Fan just now, as if she were looking at an expert or an idol.
But how is it possible! Lao Fan can't be a food-preparing genius, otherwise Miss Caiyin would have nerve damage, how could Lao Fan have such great abilities, Lao Fan is just Lao Fan...
Suddenly, Gu He thought of something, and some scenes flashed through his mind.
That was the night when the incident occurred at Red Rain House. When Elizabeth was going to the supplies warehouse to check back, she picked up the black pottery wine jar and wanted to drink. Later, during the contact, when the holy water energy was transmitted, and when he rushed back on his bicycle.
He could even see the wine jar in her hand.
A possibility came to mind, damn, some of the holy water energy went into the wine jar. I don't know if the holy water itself has a temporary therapeutic effect, or if the mixing of the wine produced some kind of dietary reaction, and the medicinal effect was lost.
It’s done.
Gu He was stunned, this must be the truth of the matter.
And it's obvious that Elizabeth didn't know about this. The master only said "it can temporarily enhance the efficiency of your program" at that time. He didn't mention neurological treatment, nor did he say that the energy data could be leaked into drinks.
Goose lacked some key information, and the Lao Fan she knew was a native of the East, a food maker, and a strange person.
This strange man, come to think of it, he was the one who said that angels are still valued by the master...
"Lao Fan is indeed a strange person when it comes to food preparation." Gu He said tentatively.
"Absolutely." Elizabeth praised first and then asked: "Angel, did Qi Ren just mean to sell me more tonic wine? The price is easy to negotiate. I want to support Red Rain House, and I don't have much money.
, but I also hope to buy more of this kind of wine.”
Something clicked in Gu He's heart, and an idea suddenly came to life.
No matter how poor Goose can be, she can drink five million yuan a night, but she won't open a bottle of beer for him...
Tonic wine? This seems to be a way to make money, as long as he acts as a middleman and eats both ends...
However, he thought of many terrible consequences.
In any case, you must first determine the identity of the strange person's spokesperson.
"Elizabeth, you know something about the temper of strange people." Gu He said seriously, "He usually doesn't want to get involved in the world. Sometimes he wants to do something when he meets someone he is interested in."
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded repeatedly. She was really lucky.
This also shows that she is walking the correct path of a hero, so those who follow the path will get more help.
"As Qi Ren's disciple," Gu He added, "I am responsible for communicating on these matters. Whether to sell wine, how much to sell, and how to sell it, Lao Fan doesn't want to worry about it. He just cooks in the kitchen."
Elizabeth understood, but she liked this, "That is to say, the angel will hand it over to you."
"That's right. You know, the purer this stuff is, the more dangerous it is. The chef can't expose it."
Gu He's tone became more serious and he spoke softly, "Besides you, who else knows about this now."
"Judy, Judy Dickinson." Elizabeth said, giving a brief introduction, "Judy and I have the same goal, and tonic wine is mainly for people like her."
Oh my god, Gu He's heart beat as he listened. This was what he was worried about. He was from the bank.
If this thing goes wrong, the entire fish pond will be dragged into the water, and it will be all over...
That's why he kept using words instead of telling the truth that Lao Fan's tonic wine had that effect.
No, the more she thinks about it, the more dangerous it becomes, so she'd better hold off on the goose for now, and when she contacts her next time in a few days, the master will tell her that it's not because of the wine, but the energy of the holy water.
In this way, the goose will no longer have any unrealistic thoughts about Lao Fan, and the alarm in the fish pond will naturally be lifted.
But, what to do with his financial resources, his small treasury...
