He took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit one. Qian Xinyu consciously took the ashtray and put it on the chessboard.
Lin Wei said thank you first, and then just looked at Qian Xinyu calmly. Qian Xinyu was stared at by him, but he just shook his head in confusion.
"My father's restaurant was smashed." What he said softly made Qian Xinyu's face change slightly. She indeed did not know about this matter, not even Section Chief Jiang knew about it.
Lin Wei laughed: "It seems you really don't know."
He reached out and put the ashtray on the small table next to him, blew on the tea cup, and took a sip. His voice was still calm: "Sister Xinyu, you should have read my information."
"Growing up, my mother's health was not very good. It was all thanks to my father to support the family almost single-handedly. The reason why we moved from Bukdaemun Market to Guro District was entirely because the rent in Bukdaemun Market had increased. We couldn't support it.
He went down and was forced to leave."
"Even though I have been helping the family and delivering food since I was in elementary school, to be honest, it was a drop in the bucket."
"A large part of the reason why I gave up going to college was to help ease the burden on my family as soon as possible - coincidentally, my mother wanted me to become a civil servant, and becoming a policeman now has another way to participate in my obligations through military service.
A fast track to joining the police force.
This is why I decided to become a police officer before going to college."
Lin Wei spoke slowly, while Qian Xinyu just listened quietly, looking at his expression that looked slightly tired and reminiscing.
"According to the original plan, I will complete the official entry procedures this month, because the career of a vigilante saves the two-year probation period of patrol officers, and also saves the trouble of being admitted to the police station after four years of college graduation.
As long as I study hard on my own, pass the civil service examination, or make contributions on the front line, I can sit in an office like you and work in a place like the Information Department.
Even if it doesn't work, you can also find a way to transfer to the crime squad and participate in some dangerous tasks, such as fighting gangs, and rely on your own force to find a way out.
Choose a marriage partner you like carefully when you are thirty, have a house of your own before the age of thirty-five, and have a baby before the age of forty.
It’s actually not bad if this life goes by like this.”
He smiled and said warmly: "I have fulfilled my mother's last wish and become the pride of my father. I rely on my own hands to provide food and clothing for my family. Although it is difficult to live a wealthy life, with my ability, I will never let it go."
They're hungry."
"But unfortunately, in the end, I became an undercover agent."
Lin Wei's expression gradually turned cold, and he whispered: "Sister Xinyu, do you know? I have many paths to take.
I can go back to study. Even though I didn't get into SKY, my university is not so bad that I can't find a job.
I can go back to high school and study hard for a year, try to enter the law department of Seoul National University, become a lawyer and prosecutor, and honor my ancestors.
I can even start a business directly - even if I start setting up a street stall today, I am confident that I can have a store of my own within a few years and achieve a certain level of commercial success.
You can say I'm blindly confident, but that's what I really think.
But, I want to be a policeman.
The only way to stay in the police force is to obey Section Chief Jiang and become an undercover agent.
I had no choice. As long as I said no to Section Chief Jiang, the police station would close its door to me forever.
I agreed to become an undercover agent with Section Chief Jiang and joined the Beidamen Sect, and my father broke off all ties with me because of this.
Section Chief Jiang once told me personally that he would find someone to take care of my father."
Lin Wei's expression showed a little indifference in the smoke.
"But his store was destroyed - it was my father's only support and my only home."
Lin Wei cut off the cigarette butt and the story came to an abrupt end. His eyes gradually became sharper and he stared at Qian Xinyu closely: "He is my only family."
Qian Xinyu was speechless.
Only then did she think through the whole thing, why Lin Wei suddenly went to Jiulao District to cause trouble, why he chose to remain silent towards Section Chief Jiang, and why he acted a little distant today.
"I'm sorry. Neither I nor Section Chief Jiang know about this matter."
Qian Xinyu tried to remedy the situation, but Lin Wei acted a little coldly. He sat up straight and whispered: "Let's talk about business."
"Next, if nothing unexpected happens, the North Gate Sect, or rather, I, will launch an expansion and annexation to Garibongdong in Guro District.
Whether I can annex the local gangs and whether I can make a name for myself in this battle will directly determine my future status in the Beidamen Sect.
Success means ascending to the top, firmly occupying the third position, and having enough money and territory to support his younger brother, which has become an indispensable force in Ding Qing's hands today.
If I fail, I will be relegated to the bottom again and start over from the bottom of my head - in today's rapidly rising Beidamen sect, I have no confidence that I can overtake in corners and climb to my current position in a short period of time.
Sister Xinyu, I need your help and that of Section Chief Jiang."
Lin Wei picked up a sunspot and played with it in his hand.
Qian Xinyu gradually frowned and did not dare to agree, but said cautiously: "I have to report to the section chief before I can give you a definite answer."
"Okay." Lin Wei didn't bother too much. He just took the black stones and put them on the chessboard: "Teach me how to play chess. This is my second time at the chess academy. If others ask, I don't even know how to play Go.
I can't explain it."
Qian Xinyu nodded, lifted her long hair from her ears, looked at his calm face, speculated on the turbulence in his chest, and felt the sense of betrayal he might have felt.
Ask yourself - if she had suffered all this, she would definitely be full of complaints against Chief Jiang, and would also have a grudge against herself.
Although all this cannot be simply blamed on Section Chief Jiang, and Qian Xinyu was extremely innocent in this matter, Qian Xinyu must find a way to make up for all this.
We must not let Lin Wei and Li Zicheng be as disheartened.
"What do you think about asking your father to open a store in another place?" Qian Xinyu suddenly suggested.
While Lin Wei was playing chess casually, he said casually: "I tried giving him money, but he doesn't care about a penny in his eyes. For an unfilial son like me who hangs out in gangs, every penny in his hands is dirty."
"Then there may not be any other way." Qian Xinyu smiled brightly. She obviously had an idea. She whispered in an apologetic voice: "Chief Jiang has many things to do. Apart from the Beida Gate Sect, he is still looking at the other few.
A violent organization may indeed not be able to take care of certain things in place."
"But don't worry. From now on, I will keep an eye on your father's affairs for Section Chief Jiang. You don't have to think too much about renting a store. I happen to have a good idea."
Qian Xinyu smiled and winked at him: "Although my family is not a very rich family, it happens that there are several shops in Itaewon. What's more, in May, there was a lease for a shop
It expires and the other party does not intend to renew the contract.
I just want my uncle to cooperate, move there, and accept my kindness. I also need you, Lin Wei, to cooperate with me."
Lin Wei was moved.
He really doesn't want his father to stay in Jiulao District - his subsequent actions will inevitably plunge Jiulao District into turmoil. It is also difficult to conceal his relationship with Lin Dahai. If someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will be really troublesome.
"Tell me about it."
Lin Wei's attitude was obviously much gentler.
Qian Xinyu raised the corner of his mouth, but deliberately kept it secret: "I can solve this matter, are you still angry with me?"
"Why should I be angry with you?" Lin Wei said righteously: "How could I be angry with you because of Section Chief Jiang's negligence?"
Qian Xinyu chuckled, amused by his shameless appearance. The man in front of him could always change his face into different faces at the right time.
"I understand. From today on, I am your senior in the police force. Well, even though this is indeed the case. I will personally contact my uncle to convince him. Leave this matter to me."
Lin Wei didn't know where she got the confidence to give her the guarantee, but now that it was over, he accepted her favor smoothly.
"I understand, Sister Xinyu, I believe you."
Lin Wei smiled, and the atmosphere between the two returned to the harmonious atmosphere of the first meeting.
After that, the two of them stopped talking about business and took a Go class for a while, which also allowed Lin Wei to get started.
After leaving the Chess Academy, Qian Xinyu declined Lin Wei's offer to send her home, and the two parted ways.
Lin Wei got into the car, and Cui Yonghao poked his head out of the driver's seat: "Brother, where are you going?"
Cui Yonghao didn't know what route he took, but he got his driver's license within a week. After completing the tasks assigned by Lin Wei, he came back to work as his driver.
He has previous experience of driving a van for his family. He is not very old, but he has rich driving experience. The most important thing is that he has followed Lin Wei from the very beginning. They have talked a lot with each other, and Lin Wei treats him as well.
Know the root and the bottom.
For professions such as driver and secretary, for Lin Wei's current situation, trust is the first element compared to ability.
"North Gate."
Lin Wei closed his eyes and remained silent as Cui Yonghao started the car and drove him to his home in Beidamen Market.
"Yonghao."
"Brother."
"Promote the nightclub thing, urge the big head, you can't have babies if you just put money in your hands. Can't you buy a store with a rent of 200 million?"
"Yes, brother."
"When I play songs, I just play the foreign CDs I bought."
"Yes, brother."
Soothing blues jazz flowed in the car, and Lin Wei's fingers gently beat the beat.
Until a phone suddenly rang.
"Oppa, happy birthday."
Han Suwan's voice was gentle.
Lin Wei raised his head in a daze: "Today is my birthday?"
"I knew you wouldn't be able to remember it. Anyway, happy birthday, Oppa."
She smiled and sent her blessing: "I hope Oppa will continue to be at large in the new year."
"Ah Yixi. Don't talk nonsense without evidence." Lin Wei smiled, but at the end of the laughter, he paused and whispered: "Thank you, Suwan."
"Hey, I'm going to continue studying!" Han Suwan hung up the phone.
Lin Wei, on the other hand, made another call after thinking about it.
"Minshu, today is my birthday. Do you want to come to my house for a drink?"
Cui Minshu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a panic: "Oppa! Why didn't you tell me that you knew earlier? You can wait for me at home!"
"Shall I pick you up?"
"No, no! Oppa is waiting for me at home!"
Cui Minshu hung up the phone in a hurry, and Lin Wei glanced at the rearview mirror, and as expected, saw Cui Yonghao's slightly admiring eyes.
Lin Wei, on the other hand, just smiled slightly and sat back comfortably on the chair, not intending to explain anything.
