The "Old Ghost" is indeed a man of temperament. Once someone catches his eye, he will change his usual aloofness and become very warm and approachable. He will also try his best to be worthy of his friends.
For example, after having a full meal that day, the "old ghost" not only personally sent Hong Yanwu to the streets of Caishikou. The next day, he also specially asked "Xiao Leizi" to give Hong Yanwu a generous gift in return - a full five hundred yuan.
Good guy, in this way, Hong Yanwu's visit to the "old ghost" turned into a money-making business. Therefore, Hong Yanwu felt very sorry for this, and he was afraid and tried his best to refuse, and he didn't even dare to admit his shame.
Unexpectedly, "Xiao Leizi" told Hong Yanwu that "Old Ghost" had specifically told him when he came, saying that Hong Yanwu would have no income in the future, and now is the time to use money, so he should be rewarded for his help. Really
If you don't appreciate it, the so-called friends are just nonsense, so just don't see each other again from now on.
As the saying goes, if others give face, you have to keep it. In this way, Hong Yanwu knew that if he was more polite, he would really offend the "old ghost". He had no choice but to accept it shamelessly. As for this friendship, only
I will remember it deeply in my heart and report it later.
But this matter is not over yet. To Hong Yanwu's surprise, "Xiao Leizi" actually joined in the fun and actually offered a hundred yuan as a gift. Thank you, he did this to thank Hong Yanwu for giving it to him.
Two capable subordinates.
What made Hong Yanwu even more dumbfounded was that "Xiao Leizi" also had the idea of "Xiao Baizi". He took the initiative to ask Hong Yanwu if he could let "Xiao Baizi" come to his place.
To put it bluntly, this was the fermentation effect of that night. In fact, since the negotiation, many "hands", including "Hongye", have taken a fancy to "Xiaobaizi"'s slingshot skills, and have revealed their recruitment
Meaning.
It's just that "Xiao Baizi" is different from Hong Yanwu's old subordinates who are unwilling to change careers. He has not yet been deeply involved in this circle. Hong Yanwu really hoped that he could live a normal life, so he refused even if he made his own decisions.
. It can be regarded as quite "arrogant" and acted as an unreasonable "parent" for "Little Baizi". So naturally, at this time, I can only express gratitude and insensitivity.
For this reason, although "Xiao Leizi" was quite sorry, he couldn't force it. But he insisted on keeping Hong Yanwu's reward of one hundred yuan. Otherwise, he would think that Hong Yanwu looked down on him.
In fact, in Hong Yanwu's eyes, how could this mere 100 yuan compare with the friendship with the future "King of the Capital"? Of course he would not let go of this great opportunity to establish friendship, so he immediately pretended to be serious.
Love is more important than righteousness, but money is regarded as dirt and refuses.
Hong Yanwu said that he dared to assert that "Xiao Leizi" would definitely surpass him in future achievements. He only entrusted "Xiao Leizi" with his character and ability. If he wanted to accept the money, he would
It became a business transaction. Not only did he feel sorry for his two brothers who trusted him, he also became a profit-seeking person. If he really wanted to thank him, "Xiao Leizi" only had to treat his "little wife" and "jar" well.
Although the age difference between the two is almost the same, what is Hong Yanwu’s status? After all, he was the “master” of the party in the past, and now he is even more widely praised as a “legendary figure.” No matter how capable “Xiao Leizi” is, he has not yet reached the age of
Isn’t it for the sake of establishing one’s own business?
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu's "quite forward-looking" prophecy and his "discerning eye" packaged with hypocrisy made "Xiao Leizi" elated on the spot. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Hong Yanwu truly valued him.
I feel particularly radiant on my face.
Face is the most important thing in the "player" circle, more important than money. Only when someone recognizes you can you enjoy your life.
Therefore, he was in the same situation as Hong Yanwu just now. As a result, "Xiao Leizi" could no longer persist. Not only did he thank him repeatedly, he also patted his chest and said that he would definitely reuse "little wife" and "jar". In
After that, I went back happily.
And Hong Yanwu easily found a favor with "Xiao Leizi". It can be said that he successfully gained the favor of the future "King of Capital". If he really needs anything in the future, I will keep this incense relationship in mind.
Love, "Xiao Leizi" must also respond to requests. Compared with one hundred yuan, it is much more cost-effective.
However, although Hong Yanwu thought he had an exquisite heart and was extremely clever at calculating, what he did not expect was that those who calculate others also calculate others. In fact, the "old ghost" had several abacus calculations that were no worse than his.
.Because just after "Xiao Leizi" returned to life, the following conversation took place between "Old Ghost" and him.
"How's it going? Did you collect the money?"
"Old Ghost" spoke slowly. At that time, he was sitting and flipping through the newspaper in his hand without raising his head.
"I'll take it, but my one hundred yuan will be confiscated."
"Xiao Leizi" looked serious and his tone was equally calm.
"Is he looking down on you?"
The "old ghost" suddenly stopped what he was doing and was a little stunned.
"On the contrary, he was not too polite to me. He also said that I would definitely be able to surpass him in the future. Moreover, this man was very angry and said that he would just let me treat his brother well. He was afraid that taking this money would ruin their brotherhood.
…”
Hearing "Xiao Leizi" Po's somewhat complacent tone, "Old Ghost" couldn't help but shake his head.
"Silly boy, you believe it when he says this?"
"Little Leizi" was unprepared and stuttered.
"...This...then tell me, if it wasn't for this, what was he trying to do?"
The "old ghost" put down the newspaper in his hand and began to look out the window.
"What else could I be trying to do? It's just for the favor you owe him. The fact that he compliments you so much has almost the same meaning as the return gift I gave him. I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I see that this guy sent someone to
I came here originally because I wanted to establish friendship with you. Okay, I have a very far-reaching vision and a good vision..."
"Xiao Leizi" couldn't believe it and was full of doubts.
"Brother, no way? Can he still think of being together with you? Is he so smart?"
Unexpectedly, the "old ghost" sneered, turned his eyes to him, and said quite self-deprecatingly, "Me? Who am I? I am just an old scumbag. I have gone through many hardships and have not yet entered the mainstream. Don't forget, there are people out there.
.If you ask me, this kid "Red Boy" can be regarded as the number one. You see, the "big trouble" he came back, the commotion process is so unexpected. He is ruthless and ruthless, and he will use any means to achieve his goals.
It's his style. It's his style to give in three points, know how to advance and retreat, and know the trade-offs. It's also his style. He can make the impossible become a reality when it comes to difficult problems like being besieged by five "hands". I was
But without him, the most important thing is that his vision, how he looks at society and problems, is so accurate, your achievements in the future will probably not be able to catch up with his..."
"Xiao Leizi" was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and couldn't help but pout.
"Brother, do you think so little of me? After all, I was trained by you. If you had given me a chance to go solo as soon as possible, I might have surpassed him long ago."
The "old ghost" didn't rub sand in his eyes and told the truth.
"What's the matter, you still don't believe it? Remember, temperament is useless, ability is the real thing. Huh, don't think you have already started in the Tao. But when it comes to people and things, you are no better than him.
The heat is really not the slightest bit. Listen to me. From now on, you must be more careful and respectful to this guy. In a word, if you can be a friend, don’t be an enemy. If you can help, don’t mess with him. You
You know, all walks of life are difficult to maintain on their own. If you want to go far, you have to rely on the help of others."
"But...he has already withdrawn from this circle. There is no practical benefit to us from selling his favor?"
Seeing that "Little Leizi" was confused about the key issue, "Old Ghost" frowned slightly, feeling quite dissatisfied.
"You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Are you childish? Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. In addition to stuffing grenades into the spit brazier to suppress 'Little Guier Cui', the 'Xishan Boss' (the first in history)
The "player master" in Beijing who died at the hands of the young revolutionary general preceded the "little bastard" Zhou Changli. At that time, the "Xishan Boss" organized a gang called the "Hongshan Club" to specifically fight against the "old soldiers". The members of the "Hongshan Club"
The symbol is that everyone wears a red vest with the "Temple of Heaven" logo. The 'Xishan Boss' himself is also a tough guy. After being caught by the 'veterans', he was tortured and refused to surrender. In the end, he was used by a group of 'veterans' to use the military training equipment.
I have never seen a master with such wisdom and courage. If 'Red Boy' still sticks to this circle, he will definitely be your biggest opponent. Just focus on his thoughts and skills. You will never
There is no future for him. If that were the case, what we should be thinking about is not how to make friends with him. Instead, we must eradicate him completely. But now, just because he has resigned willingly and has no conflict of interest with you, he has gone out of his way to make friends with you.
I will really help you in the future. Remember, people will always be ranked third, sixth, or ninth. A chicken is a chicken, a phoenix is a phoenix, to put it bluntly, a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and a dog will never make it to the top.
Just because of the boy's natural spirituality, he is daring, extremely smart, and unconventional. I dare say that no matter which profession he is in, he will be a top figure. "
"Brother, I understand."
By this time, "Xiao Leizi" had completely woken up, but then he thought of an embarrassing question and couldn't help asking hesitantly.
"Then...what if one day I end up facing him?"
"Old Ghost" immediately stared at "Xiao Leizi"'s face. He did not expect that his confidant would think of such a worst-case scenario. However, after thinking about it, he still gave the answer very seriously.
"Then you have to be cautious and tough, and deal with people and things that matter. Tactful, and deal with people and things that matter. If this really happens, you can tolerate it as long as you can. Don't fall out easily over trivial matters. Treat people who need it.
, it’s better to take a step back and the sky will be brighter. But once you decide to take action, you must spare no effort and must kill it completely. If you can’t do it, the ‘Bacha’ and ‘Small Landlord’ will serve as a warning for you.
…”
"Thanks for the advice, brother! I understand!"
"Xiao Leizi" responded without any hesitation and had nothing else to say.
