Chapter Fifty-Seven I Am A Good Person

  We parted ways with Dai Zong at the entrance of the city, and now I'm very envious of his skills. I asked him if he could teach me, and Dai Zong pinched my leg, saying: "Teaching you for half a day would only make you run slightly faster than ordinary people, but your legs are too fast and will easily wear out."

  Something is speeding up to 100 meters, and one somersault is farther than a long jumper, so that advertising slogan is very appropriate: If I could run a little faster, I think I would fly.

  Dai Zong's meaning is that my physical hardware is not good, just like the magnetic levitation theory can't be applied to a Chevrolet car, so that sentence is also very appropriate: Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to this person, must first torture his heart and labor his muscles and bones...

  It's like expecting a child who has been deeply influenced by Confucianism since childhood to become someone like me, shameless and thick-skinned, as soon as they enter society.

  I remembered something, I should first get Zhu Gui and Du Xing a pair of mobile phones. I also wanted to give them the blue screen I'm using now, but after a humble conversation with the two, I gave up on this idea. They said: The pixels don't need to be too high, 13 million is enough...

  I went to that second-hand mobile phone store again, and I bought two of the best phones they had for two people. In the meantime, I called Chen Kejiao to get to "Inverted Time" bar first. The owner saw me still using his "treasured item" and excitedly said: "Brother, you're too particular, buying such good phones for your friends but still using this one - is it good?"

  I said: "Not bad at all, and there are still several keys that work." The owner's face turned a bit red as he said: "When I have time, I'll ask the manufacturer about it. It seems like they're recalling this type of antique machine."

  The reason I haven't changed my phone until now is actually very simple. Now that I have a bit of money, I need to take the time to carefully consider which one suits me best. Baozi's boss has always been my imaginary enemy: why can men like him have my woman work for them? Looking back, he's not even a kid anymore, isn't his monthly income 100,000 yuan? I inadvertently raised a low-maintenance 200,000-yuan bar, and before that, Baozi was working for him, which made me feel stifled. Now it's just an experience of life.

  I plan to finish this busy period and then have an open and honest talk with Baozi. Of course, I still can't tell her about the client's affairs, but at least I can tell her that her man is now capable of supporting her, and can even buy her a car, and then proudly say: "The car can be crashed as much as you want, as long as you're okay, that's all that matters."

  Although Jin Shaoyan is a Ferrari, I can at most buy her a QQ.

  Considering the local house prices were not high to begin with, and then there was the earthquake, I decided that I would also buy a small villa with a loft. As we drove past the entrance of the community in our QQ, the security guard stood up straight and seriously reminded us: "Please drive carefully, looking forward to your safe return." It was as if he was speaking from the heart.

  We also lie on the floor to read books, we read "Playboy", we read Hong Kong version of "Playboy", we read Equatorial Guinea version of "Playboy"...... At that time our house was so clean that I could do whatever I wanted, I was like a rabbit in California, my battlefield was everywhere, I bought a super large screen rear projection TV, I installed a home theater, I installed rows and rows of small speakers on the ceiling, at that time we watched the Japanese version of "Animal World", the narrative was not strong but very sentimental, filled our ears: Ah Ma Die——already passed away——

  It's all so beautiful, thinking about it now I realize that I've been thinking about these scenes because my wife and I haven't been intimate for a long time, which is really hard to do at our age. No wonder Andaoquan said I don't have any kidney problems. Speaking of kidneys, I know a guy whose kidneys are so good they're ridiculous, he was only 20 years old when he went to Shenzhen and made two years' worth of adult films, got married a few years ago but still hasn't had kids, his physical functions are all normal, it's just that he has a habit of pulling out at the last minute...

  I had an appointment with Chen Kejiao at 2 o'clock in the bar, I arrived at 1:55, I parked my motorcycle at the door and led Zhu Gui and Du Xing into the bar. If it were usual, this point would not be open, it seems that Chen Kejiao has already instructed, the bar is not only open, but all employees are here, now they are turning over tables, chairs, boards and stools to clean up, the big lamp is on, sunlight shines in from outside the door, I have never observed a bar under such lighting conditions.

  As soon as Zhu Gui entered the door, he pointed to the card room and said: "This wall is wide and spacious." Then he pointed to the dance floor and said: "Move the ring outside, it's in the way here, knock it down."

  "I said: 'You're here to help with the store, not to demolish walls. Don't talk nonsense for a while.'"

  In the bar, a particularly spirited young man with a smile on his face greeted us to sit down and even brought each of us a glass of orange juice, but he didn't seem to be the manager here. We had just sat for a short while when Chen Kejiao walked in with her head held high and chest out at exactly 2 o'clock.

  Chen Kejiao was dressed more formally than the previous two times, wearing a women's round-necked shirt and a beige suit with an open collar. Her chest looked full and elastic, and the lines of her shirt were particularly smooth, making every man (especially me) want to grab it and wrinkle it. When she saw that we were already seated on one side waiting for her, a smile of approval appeared on her face again, and she nodded slightly in our direction as a greeting. Then she clapped her hands, and all the employees quickly gathered around and lined up. I also brought Zhu Du and the others to stand up, and Chen Kejiao looked at her employees with a complex expression that was difficult to detect, a mixture of sadness and relief, like a poor mother sending her children to a wealthy family.

  After a few seconds of silence, the female boss immediately regained her composure. She pointed at me and said in a crisp tone: "Let me introduce you, this Mr. Xiao will be your new..."

  "Hello, I'm a friend of Miss Chen's." I suddenly interjected, then stuck my hands in my pockets to show my apology for interrupting Chen Kejiao. Chen Kejiao gave me a glance, and I clearly felt her emotional fluctuations. She continued: "As for these two gentlemen, they will be your deputy managers from now on..." I saw that Chen Kejiao was somewhat embarrassed about not being able to call them by name, so I hastily pushed Zhu Gui forward: "Let me introduce myself."

  Zhu Gui took a step forward, clasped his fists together and said with a smile: "From now on, we're all brothers! If anything happens, just let me know!"

  Du Xing saw Zhu Gui's gesture and noticed that someone was snickering below, so he timely waved his hand at the crowd and said: "Men are brothers, women are sisters, from now on let's work together to manage the wine shop."

  Although this statement still doesn't sound quite right, Zhu Gui seems to be very sociable and good at interacting with others, while Du Xing is meticulous and careful in his work, making up for each other's shortcomings.

  Chen Kejiao suddenly asked an employee: "Where is Manager Liu?"

  The employee hesitated for half a day before stammering: "Manager Liu said he's not feeling well..."

  Chen Kejiao nodded expressionlessly and then called for the meeting to be dismissed. As we walked out, Chen Kejiao whispered to me in a low voice: "The general manager's name is Liu Xuan. He mentioned several times that he wanted to bring people to the bar, but I didn't agree. This time, he probably made a fuss and brought over two deputy managers."

  How dare a servant girl slap her master's face? Is the little one with the surname Liu her secret lover?

  Zhu Gui still smiled and said, "We brothers just came to eat and won't interfere with anything." He was indeed straightforward, and the truth I told them was revealed like this. It's no wonder that although they had managed businesses before, it was ultimately a facade. Letting these two bandit-born people engage in mental struggles with others is really too high an expectation. If you want to play tricks, it's better to use Liu Bang's method, which saves this kid from being like a professional gambler every day.

  Zhu Gui said that, Chen Kejiao was embarrassed instead. She forced a few smiles and said: "Don't say that, Mr. Zhu, what do you think of this bar?"

  Zhu Gui saw me looking at him and knew that the matter of breaking the wall couldn't be mentioned. He looked around for half a day, then casually pointed and said: "I think this place is definitely dark at night, why not knock out two big windows?"

  Chen Kejiao: "...... Hehe, Mr. Zhu is really good at joking, I'll let Liu Xuan arrange the specific work, so I'll take my leave first."

  I sent her to the door and saw her get into a domestic Peugeot, which is considered a low-end car for people of their status. With her family background, even if she doesn't drive a very good car, shouldn't she be able to afford one worth 500,000 or 600,000 yuan?

  Chen Kejiao smiled at me brightly for a moment before getting on the car and said "thank you".

  I knew what she was thanking me for, just now I stopped her from continuing, saving her face and maintaining the last bit of dignity for a female boss who had fallen on hard times. It's not that I'm trying to win her favor, you see this wine shop is only worth a year, if nothing happens in this year, even an idiot would know it's gone, after a year, how can I still come here to drink? And within this year, if there's any major disaster or minor trouble, especially if there's an earthquake, it will be a catastrophe, everyone working here will lose their job, and people will all hate me then, being the boss is not easy!

  Of course, my little trick couldn't let her understand, in fact I was a bit impressed with myself, constantly telling myself in my heart: You are a good person, you are a good person, you are a gentle and kind... Ah, what a good person!
