Mr. Quan, please take care

Chapter 272 The Story of Second Master Song Jing, Li Xiaotan

It's night, and the lights are on.

A black Mercedes-Benz parked in front of Ye Paris, Tan Yao got out of the car, walked around to the other side and opened the door.

Shen Qian came out with a bow, two straight long legs wrapped in straight suit trousers, shiny leather shoes, and a cold expression.

"Mr. Shen is so arrogant!" The big man in black said coldly, his eagle-like sharp eyes stared straight at the visitor, showing his murderous intent.

Seeing this, Tan Yao took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to cut off the unfriendly scrutiny of the other party, "Compared to the last time the second master asked us to wait for nothing, who is more arrogant?"

"A Chong!" At this moment, a woman with long curly hair in black clothes and trousers appeared in front of everyone. She had a coquettish appearance, but her expression was as cold as frost. people fear.

"Sister Li." The big man in black lowered his head slightly, speaking respectfully.

A woman, at this time, appeared in this kind of place, with such a calm demeanor, that she could even make a man of five big and three rough people call her "sister" honestly, which seemed to be a good status.

"Mr. Shen is a distinguished guest, please be polite, do you know?" The red lips hooked slightly, although the words were a lesson, the tone was neither salty nor weak, and there was no intention of reproach, but a kind of mockery that seemed to be a smile that was not a smile.

As for who is being ridiculed, it is self-evident.

Tan Yao frowned, and was about to speak, but was blocked by the woman's piercing gaze——

"Both please."

The woman led the way, leading the two to a carved wooden door and pushing it away.

In front of the eyes is a huge ink screen, which just happens to completely block the situation inside.

Bypassing the screen, the field of vision suddenly opened up.

The leather sofa surrounds a rosewood coffee table from all sides, and above the head is a bright crystal lamp, the pendant is swaying, and the fine light is projected on the beige wall, faintly.

It is more formal than a private room in a bar, but far less solemn than a formal living room.

Just like the man sitting on the sofa, wearing a modified Tang suit, top and bottom trousers, his handsome appearance makes it impossible to tell his age, and a string of sandalwood beads in his hand, which emits a faint fragrance. At first glance, he looks like a monk, but The cyan tattoo that cannot be concealed by the sleeves spreads all over the neck, which is exactly the same as the "big guy with flower arms" in the movie, but the aura around him is as gentle as water, not aggressive at all.

What is more contradictory than the decoration of the room is the people in it.

Cultivators do not enter the world.

Boss, take root in the world of mortals.

So out of place, yet strangely harmonious.

Shen Qian: "Second Lord, are you safe?"

The man got up, turned the Buddhist beads in his hand twice, and held back with the other hand, "Thanks to Mr. Shen, everything is fine."

The two take their seats.

Song Jing glanced over, and the woman who led them in before bowed and left.

Shen Qian secretly nodded to Tan Yao, who understood and left.

At that time, there were only two people left in the huge hall.

Shen Qian took out something, put it on the tea table, stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Song Jing, "At the beginning, in order to repay the grace of saving my life, the second master promised me a jade pendant with dragon patterns, and promised to help me if necessary in the future. Today I am I don’t know if the second master will recognize it or not?”

"One word from a gentleman is hard to chase. Letting you come to me shows that the matter is not small."

"For the second master, it's not difficult."

"Really?" The man chuckled. If Shen Qian is said to be gentle and gentle, then he is elegant in his gestures.

"All I want is a favor from you."

"No." Song Jing shook his head slowly, "Money debts are easy to repay, but favor debts are hard to repay."

Shen Qian's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't notice the threat and warning in his eyes, "As the second master said, if it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't come to the door."

The man pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "Tell me, what's the matter."

That sigh seemed to say—if you come out to play around, you always have to pay it back.

"Lu Shen has recently suppressed Tianshui Real Estate crazily, even at the expense of using family resources."

When the word "Lu Shen" came out, the man obviously paused, and for the first time, his brows, which had been stretched in a relaxed state since Shen Qian came in, raised slightly for the first time.

Soon, it was flat again, but not as relaxed and casual as before.

Song Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly raised his eyes: "What do you want me to do?"

"Second Master and Seventh Master are old acquaintances, and it is more convenient to communicate with each other. Could you please be a middleman and persuade Lu Shen to stop."

Song Jing was speechless for a long while.

Shen Qian didn't rush, just waited calmly.

finally--

"Although he and I are old acquaintances, we have fallen out long ago. I'm afraid...it won't be so easy."

"It's a falling out, but the relationship is still there. It depends on whether the second master can put down his airs and speak first..."

Song Jing sighed softly: "You are embarrassing me."

Shen Qian didn't let go: "It's not difficult and I won't ask the second master to take action."

The two are silent.

After a long time, Song Jing reached out and picked up the dragon pattern pendant in front of him, "Have you figured it out? There is only one chance."

Shen Qian only said: "Thank you."

"Okay." Song Jing accepted the jade pendant, "Ah Li—"

As soon as the words fell, the woman pushed the door open and entered, stood still, bowed her head respectfully: "Second Lord."

"see a visitor out."

"Yes."

When Shen Qian left with the woman, he passed by the big man in black who had clashed at the door before.

When walking around the screen, Shen Qian turned sideways slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the big man leaning over and whispering in Song Jing's ear. The man's expression became playful, and finally he showed a smile full of interest.

"Mr. Shen, please." The woman urged.

Shen Qian couldn't help restraining his mind, quickened his pace slightly, patter——

The door closed behind him.

"Stay here." Shen Qian stopped the woman, signaling that there is no need to see her off.

The woman didn't force it either, and after lightly saying "walk slowly", the two of them left on their own.

"Boss Shen, the deal is over?"

"Ah."

Feeling relieved, Tan Yao was about to reach out to press the elevator, but was stopped by Shen Qian——

"Not urgent."

"?"

"Go to the bathroom first."

Tan Yaogang wanted to say that he was waiting here, but Shen Qian directly said forcefully——

"You too."

Tan Yao: "!"

Despite his doubts, he went to the bathroom together.

It wasn't until a series of neat footsteps came from the corridor, mixed with the sound of people talking, that Tan Yao suddenly realized that Shen Qian didn't want to go to the toilet, but was waiting here!
Shen Qian and Tan Yao didn't go out from the bathroom until the slight knocking sound of the elevator door closing, and found that the elevator stopped on the second floor.

"Boss Shen, we..."

"Go, follow and have a look."

Night Paris has a total of nine floors, the first to sixth floors are bars, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors are closed to the public.

Now, they are on the seventh floor.

I heard that Song Jing never came out to manage bar-related matters, and handed them over to the people below. Therefore, so far, the behind-the-scenes boss of Ye Paris has never been exposed.

If it is said that he went to the second floor to deal with things, it is obviously not true.

And there are safe passages on the seventh to ninth floors. If Jing wants to leave, there is no need to go around like this.

Shen Qian remembered that when the black-clothed bodyguard named "A Chong" leaned over to whisper to Song Jing, the half-smile expression on Song Jing's face, as if he had encountered something rare, made him come alive.

……

"Second Master, the person is inside, she is a woman." Just as Song Jing got out of the elevator, a man in a manager's uniform stepped forward respectfully.

"Female?" Song Jing raised his eyebrows, rolled the beads with his fingertips, and slowly picked two beads: "It's interesting."

A Chong, who came with him, stared, "I'll go in now and teach her a lesson!"

"stop!"

"Second Master?"

"How many times have I said, don't be so impatient, you haven't made any progress at all."

A Chong: "..."

The manager couldn't figure out what the master meant, so he rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

A Chong immediately dropped the eye knife and went over, the manager shrank his neck.

Song Jing smiled and nodded, "Okay, then... let's take a look?"

Ari frowned and looked at the dazed manager, "Still open the door?!"

Only then did the manager realize that he was in a hurry.

The door opened, A Chong entered first, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and after confirming his safety, he retreated to Song Jing's side, nodding slightly.

"What's your name?" Song Jing suddenly asked before entering the door.

"Manager Gao, the second master asked, didn't you hear me?!"

The manager immediately came back to his senses, with flattered flattery on his face, "Young Gao Ning, who is in charge of personnel affairs."

Song Jing stopped talking and walked inside.

……

In the dimly lit private room, Shen Hou sat on the sofa, calmly glanced at the two big men in black in front of him, and after confirming that there was no chance of winning, he completely stopped thinking about fighting and began to think about other countermeasures.

On the other side of the sofa, Li Xiaotan was holding a cigarette, but her fingertips couldn't help shaking. The ash fell onto her thigh and burned a hole in her stockings, but she didn't seem to feel any pain and didn't respond.

"It's useless," she said suddenly, her indifferent eyes fell on Shen Yu's face, "We can't escape, and it's useless to toss about."

Hearing the words, the two big men in black in front looked at each other with more defense in their eyes.

Shen Yu rolled her eyes, Teammate Pig!

Li Xiaotan seemed to know what she was thinking, and sneered, "It's useless to scold me, if you can't escape, you can't escape. It's like a person who fell into the water, the more he struggles, the faster he dies."

"Do you really want to die?" Shen Hou looked at her coldly.

"No, unfortunately it's useless."

"Ye Paris is already so arrogant that he can ignore human life?"

Li Xiaotan looked at her with pity, "Will you say next sentence, what do you want the police to do?"

Shen Wei: "..."

"I've been here for so long, and I've seen even the most tragic things with my own eyes. How do you think your end will be better than those people's?"

There was no fear or terror that Li Xiaotan expected to see on Shen Yu's face, and he curled his lips coldly: "How can your fate be better?"

The woman paused, exhaled a shapeless smoke ring, her eyes were dazed.

Yes, how could she be any better?
"Heh... I didn't expect that my life, Li Xiaotan, would be finished like this? Hehehe..." She raised her hand to cover her eyes, shaking with laughter.

Shen Yu frowned, "Cheer up."

"Cheer up! It's all your fucking fault! If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have been caught by Gao Ning even if I wiped those damn files!"

"Why don't you say that you are open-eyed when you see money, and you don't know people clearly?"

Shen Yu thought she would refute, but the woman just paused, then laughed at herself, and murmured softly, "Yeah, in the end, I blame myself... I don't like what I like, but I like money; I don't like anyone, but I follow Gao Ning, that bastard who doesn't recognize his relatives!"

Shen Yu's eyes moved slightly: "So, you didn't send the text message?"

"What message?" The woman looked blank.

Shen Yu understood.

After the shooting training was over, Quan Hanting sent her to the 4S store to pick up the car, and Shen Wei drove back to Shen's house in a brand new red little Martha.

On the way, she received a text message from Li Xiaotan, asking her to meet in a private room on the second floor of Ye Paris at seven o'clock tonight, and pay the balance by the way.

Shen Wei thought of her character of loving money like her life, and it was normal to be eager to get money, so she didn't suspect anything, and drove directly to Ye Paris.

Unexpectedly, he became a turtle in the urn and was caught by someone!

"It's Gao Ning! It must be him—that bitch!" Li Xiaotan screamed after hearing this.

She was working hard, but Gao Ning called and asked her to go up to the second floor. As soon as she entered the private room, two big men in black covered her mouth and nose and fell on the sofa.

She didn't know what happened at all. It wasn't until Shen Yu was arrested that she realized that the matter of erasing the file had been exposed. Gao Ning set up a trick to kill her!

"Are you stupid? If I want money, I won't let you transfer it directly. Why bother to make an appointment?"

Shen Yu sneered: "Transfer? Who kept saying that she only accepts cash?"

Li Xiaotan: "..."

"Hi! You seem to like money very much? Why?" Shen Wei was suddenly curious.

In his last life, Li Xiaotan was like falling into Qian's eye, and it's still the same in this life.But as far as she knew, Li Xiaotan had no elders to take care of her, and no children to take care of her below. It was typical for one person to eat enough and the whole family not hungry.

The place where you usually need to spend money is nothing more than clothing. Although the price is not cheap, it is not considered a luxury.

So, what does she need so much money for?
The woman paused, as if stumped by this sudden question, and took a while to react, "Because, it's safe."

Shen Wei: "?"

"Money can give me a sense of security, just like a killer must hold a gun in his hand at all times, otherwise, I will be restless and unable to eat or sleep."

"That's all?" Shen Yu suddenly felt amused.

Li Xiaotan's face suddenly became serious, and his expression became cold: "Maybe you think this reason is absurd, but to me, money is everything! I don't have to eat or drink, but I absolutely can't live without money." .”

"What about life? Who is more important, money or life?"

"For me, money is life, and the two are equal."

Shen Yu was convinced.

"When I was young, my family was poor," she said, taking a puff of a cigarette, and there seemed to be someone who could talk, her heart was not so scared, and her hands stopped shaking, "My parents are workers, and there is an older sister who is 15 years older than me. When I was young, I hardly ever wore new clothes. I either picked up my sister’s or the neighbors didn’t want them. When I went to school, the children around me could dance, sing, recite, and play various musical instruments, but I didn’t know anything. , Inferiority is like a shadow, following all the time."

"My grades were not good. After finishing high school, I failed to enter university. I wanted to go to a junior college. After three years, I could find a decent job. But at that time, my parents fell ill one after another, and they left within two months. I asked later, although the disease cannot be cured, it can be delayed for three to five years or even longer with medication. My parents’ medical expenses and funeral affairs have used up all the savings in the family, and I can’t pay the tuition fees. I don’t have to read anymore, my sister disappeared again, and I don’t care about anything, so I can only come out to work.”

"I went to Jingping with a few fellow villagers, and they all said that the foot of the imperial city was full of gold. I set foot on that land full of hope, but I was hit hard by life. I was greedy for cheap when renting a house, met black intermediaries, and was raped..."

Xu Shi was about to die, and the misery and sorrow buried deep in his heart seemed to become less difficult to express.

Li Xiaotan suddenly wanted to talk to someone, talk about her grievances over the years, talk about the scars that had scabbed but were deeply rotted, talk about the despair and bleakness of her life, as well as her unwillingness and injustice.

Shen Yu listened quietly, no matter what the other party said, she was always calm, without surprise or sympathy.

It's like reading stories in magazines and listening to cases in legal programs, and this kind of calmness and calmness, without pretending to be hypocritical, is exactly what Li Xiaotan hopes for.

She said this, not to win sympathy, nor to find resonance, but just suddenly wanted to say it.

That's it.

The audience she needs doesn't need to echo or comment, just listen quietly.

"I thought about calling the police, but I gave up in the end. Because the man left 2000 yuan after finishing the work, and I decided to accept it without any hesitation. So, it was not rape, it was prostitution, and I took the money. !"

Speaking of this, the woman laughed strangely: "You must think that I am very cheap, and I think I am too cheap! But what can I do? I need to find a place to live, to eat, to survive, all of which need money .”

"Then, I found the first job in my life, washing dishes in a small restaurant near the hospital. The monthly salary was [-], including food and housing. Until now, I still remember the joyful mood at that time, just like... ...a light suddenly appeared in the gloomy life, with hope."

"I've been doing it for about... three months," the woman took a puff of cigarettes, her cold eyes were full of vicissitudes, but she was always calm, like a bystander narrating a story that has nothing to do with her, no matter how ups and downs, she can remain indifferent, " Then, the flu broke out and I was infected. Fortunately, the restaurant was across from the hospital, and I passed out in the middle of the road, and a nurse found me, took me to the emergency room, and then, I was isolated."

"Do you know the isolation room in the hospital?" She turned her head and asked Shen Yu.

He smiled lightly and shook his head like a self-deprecating, "You must have never seen it."

Shen Yu's eyes were cold, "It's a small house, three walls are painted pale, and the remaining side is a whole piece of glass. Every day, a doctor will stand outside to record observations. You hope to see hope from their eyes in white coats. But they kept their heads down and moved the pens in their hands, unable to give you any response."

The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, "It's as if you've been in it before."

"Maybe?" Shen Yu shrugged.

Li Xiaotan didn't bother to find out if it was true or not. He was going to die anyway. What's the point of being true or false?
"You are right, three white walls, one white lamp, no one talks to you, and you dare not speak, because every time you speak, there is an echo. At that time, I thought I was dying. Looking back on the first half of my life, I lived in poverty. Down and out, and very useless. So my sister and I swear to God, as long as we get through it, we must make a lot of money and treat ourselves very well."

"It may be that life is hard. Many people died from the flu, but I saved my life. When I was discharged from the hospital, I ran out of money. I met a fortune-teller and told me that my life was full of troubles." Fortunately, I survived the catastrophe, but I can no longer bear the dragon's aura at the foot of the imperial city, let me go all the way south, and find a peaceful place to live a good life."

Shen Wei: "Do you believe it?"

"Believe it! I was not afraid of death before, but after that time, I was afraid, so I believed it. The next day, I spent the only 15 yuan I had on my body and took a black car all the way south. The car broke down halfway. The driver asked for more money, otherwise he would dump the customer. I didn’t have any money, so I was left behind. A local man was caught on the road and asked what this place was, and the man said it was Ningcheng.”

"I thought, didn't the fortune teller tell me to find a peaceful place to live? Just right, Ningcheng Ningcheng, is it peaceful enough? Later, through the introduction of an acquaintance, I entered Night Paris."

"When I was a beer girl at the beginning, I was often taken advantage of by others. After half a year, I simply switched to being a table hostess. I had a lot of money to eat and dress well, but I always felt that it was not enough. I And earn more."

Listening to her lightly talking about the ups and downs of the first half of her life, Shen Yu felt complicated in her heart.

It's ridiculous to say that they had been together for four years in their last life and were related by blood, but they had never heard Li Xiaotan talk about it.It's just a chance meeting in this life, and she has said everything that should be said and should not be said.

"Money is a good thing." Li Xiaotan threw the burnt cigarette butt on the ground and leaned back on the back of the sofa. "Unfortunately, it's almost dead."

"Then if I let you use all the money in your hand to exchange your life, would you like it?"

Shen Wei believes that almost everyone will be willing, after all, life is priceless.

But Li Xiaotan hesitated!

After a long while, she shook her head: "I'm not going to die, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to continue to be a stage lady. If I don't become a stage lady, I won't be able to earn money. If I don't have money, I might as well die."

Shen Yu was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, bang bang——

There was a burst of clapping, and the two followed the sound...
