Huo Yunqi is a young man. This youthfulness is not only reflected in his age, but also in some of his methods, such as now.
The other party had been hiding it well before. That was because the boy never talked about this matter, so Lu Hanjiang didn't notice anything was wrong. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the sense of urgency that he tried to suppress appeared.
Lu Hanjiang was a little surprised. He looked at Huo Yunqi with a strange look in his eyes: "Is Zhujian Villa short of money?"
"No! How could it be possible? Gang Leader Lu was joking, haha..." Huo Yunqi was startled, and then covered it up in a very lame way.
Seeing that Lu Hanjiang was silent, he didn't think about it originally. What he said just now was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. But who would have thought that he seemed to have accidentally come into contact with the truth...
Huo Yunqi's current appearance looked familiar to him. In this young boy, he seemed to see his former self.
At that time, Lu Hanjiang was still a young boy who was just starting out. With a passion for everything, he ordered some dishes that didn't look very expensive at the most expensive restaurant in the capital. When it came time to pay, he was shocked.
Cash-strapped.
The shopkeeper of that restaurant was a good man. He seemed to have noticed his embarrassment. Perhaps out of good intentions, or perhaps because he was in awe of the royal clothes he was wearing, the shopkeeper gave a subtle hint that he could make an IOU.
But at that time, he was shaken in his heart, but on the surface he still stubbornly said that he didn't need it. If Master Wu hadn't happened to pass by and made a generous donation, Lu Hanjiang might have experienced his first social death at that time.
The so-called man, even if he doesn't even have his next meal, he will never let others see him hungry.
This is the story of Lu Hanjiang's first experience of the weight of man's dignity as a boy.
From that day on, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never spend a penny of his own money on those fancy restaurants again, and he would eat for free!
Of course, this is off topic.
Lu Hanjiang saw a familiar and awkward stubbornness in Huo Yunqi. Even though he had already spent all his money, he still insisted on pretending to be fat, yet he still saw it. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Lu Hanjiang was suddenly startled, good guy, they have been eating and drinking so much these days, haven't they already wiped out this guy? If so, shouldn't he run away quickly to avoid being blocked by debt collectors?
.
Although Huo Yunqi was young, he was very sensitive to other people's attitudes, and Lu Hanjiang's compassion was captured by him at that moment.
A vigorous young man, the dignified young owner of Zhujian Villa has fallen into such a desperate situation because of his money. His face suddenly turned red as if on fire, and he could no longer hide it.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
Lu Hanjiang was thinking about how to leave him and run away, while Huo Yunqi was fighting with his heart.
For a long time, the two of them looked at each other. The complexity in Lu Hanjiang's eyes made Huo Yunqi lose all face. He resisted the urge to turn around and run away. He sighed deeply, put down the teacup, and whispered: "I can't hide it from Gang Leader Lu.
, Zhujian Villa is indeed having some difficulties with its capital turnover now."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hanjiang once again felt that the other party was indeed a young man with too little experience.
Apart from the meaning of the word "righteousness", the most important thing for a righteous Jianghu guest is his face. The more times like this, the less he should show his weakness.
Now that you have chosen to be tough once, you might as well keep it straight to the end. Although it is of no use, at least it will have momentum.
If Huo Yunqi revealed his secrets like this, he would lose face and might not be able to gain any. Even Lu Hanjiang, a layman in the business world, knew that it was taboo to reveal one's trump cards when discussing business.
The deeper the trouble the Zhujian Villa is in, the less likely it is to show it, otherwise people will just seize the sore spot and sever the price.
But this cannot be blamed on Huo Yunqi. As a young man, what he needs most is to experience setbacks. Only after experiencing the taste of falling can he go further.
Therefore, as a senior, Lu Hanjiang chose to go on stage in person at this time to teach this young junior well, hoping that he would grow up.
"well."
After listening to Huo Yunqi's words, Lu Hanjiang also put down his tea cup, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Huo would be such a chivalrous person. The Sword-Forging Villa is in such dire straits, but he still spared no expense to entertain us and the others. It really makes people feel ashamed."
"Gang Leader Lu, please don't say that, this is what I should do." Huo Yunqi stood up quickly and said, the word "difficulty" really stung him.
Lu Hanjiang raised his head, his expression was speechless, and he sighed: "Well, originally, when Brother Huo said it to this point, I should have helped some way anyway, but... Well, Brother Huo knows,
Is the elders of the Jingyi Sect now in charge of our Beggar Gang?"
The topic suddenly turned to the Beggar Clan, but Huo Yunqi didn't feel anything was wrong. He followed the other person's words and said, "I have heard a little bit about this matter."
Lu Hanjiang looked sad, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, and said: "To be honest, although I am the gang leader personally appointed by the old gang leader Liang, my qualifications are still relatively young and I speak lightly. All matters in the gang are decided by the elders.
And Jue, although I am the gang leader, I only have an empty name."
"this......"
Huo Yunqi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed empathetically: "Brother Lu, it's not easy either."
Isn't it the same for him? Seeing that Zhujian Villa is about to be destroyed, he can't do anything. The power is in the hands of his uncle. He can only do what he can, but under the general trend, it is just a mantis.
The two people with the same experience soon started chatting together. After the chat started, Huo Yunqi ignored all the details and opened his mouth to tell the whole story about his predicament. Lu Hanjiang was amazed in his heart and amazed on his face.
The tea was not intoxicating, but Lu Hanjiang seemed to be intoxicated. He slapped the table and said: "A man born in heaven and earth, how can he be hindered by such trivial things! After talking today, I feel that you and I have the same mind. Brother Huo, this
Just leave it to me!"
"Brother Lu!" Huo Yunqi was excited and at a loss.
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand nonchalantly and immediately made a promise: "Brother Huo, I'm going to Zhujian Villa. I will do my best to persuade the elders in the gang to help you overcome this difficulty."
"Brother Lu is so righteous! I can't repay you in return! Please accept my respect!"
Huo Yunqi's eyes were filled with moisture. He stood up and bowed solemnly. Lu Hanjiang quickly gave him a hand, and then accepted his bows dignifiedly.
"Brother Huo, you must not do it. How can you give such a great gift?"
After the other party finished bowing, Lu Hanjiang helped him up. Huo Yunqi raised his head and looked at him. He felt that all the depression in his heart for many days was gone. He had met a rare confidant.
The two talked for a long time, and when it was time for dinner, Huo Yunqi finally stopped talking. Before entering, the two of them were Huo Shao, the leader of the village, and the leader of the Lu gang called them. After they went out, they were already brothers, and they were indistinguishable.
each other.
When he was going out, Lu Hanjiang accidentally caught a glimpse of the white horse in the horse pen downstairs. His heart moved and he said, "Brother Huo, there is one more thing I need to ask you."
Huo Yunqi said: "Brother Lu, just say it."
"I saw you doing business with that foreign businessman before, and I was wondering if I could help you bridge the gap."
Lu Hanjiang caught a glimpse of Shangluo walking on the other side and said, "My sister likes that white horse very much, so I also want to buy one. I would like to ask Brother Huo to contact me on my behalf."
When Huo Yunqi heard this, he almost didn't hesitate and said immediately: "Why bother? Brother Lu's sister is also my sister. I will decide to give this white horse to Sister Lu as a meeting gift."
