C44 Strangers

Li Shun and I went downstairs. In late December, Mingzhou's weather was not cold. The warm winter sun shone over, making us feel very comfortable.

Walking on the familiar streets of Mingzhou, looking at the surrounding traffic, I used to be extremely familiar with all of this, but today, I am just a stranger passing by.

Looking at the beautiful girls walking past me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Would I meet Yun Er in Mingzhou? Is Yun Er still in Mingzhou?

Li Shun and I reached the D8 bar. As expected, it was already closed, the bright and resplendent neon lights from before were still there, but it looked very lonely. In front of the door, there was only a old man who was picking up scraps lying there sleeping soundly.

Li Shun and I made a few rounds around the bar.

"Boss, how about we find someone nearby to ask and take a look?" I said to Li Shun.

Li Shun held his chin as he looked at the exterior of the pub, then looked at his surroundings, and said: "It's fine, the facilities inside will have to be replaced anyways, my main purpose here is to see if I can attract guests here."

I said, "This is Mingzhou's busiest bustling city, it's bustling all day and all night!"

Li Shun thoughtfully nodded his head, "Yes, that's right. This place is just missing a car park."

"Gold district, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. There can't be an outdoor parking lot at this location. This bar's parking area is underground and it's not small at all."

"I —" I paused. "When this lot was built, I worked for a construction company and worked here for a while. I was mainly responsible for delivering dust and sand."

Li Shun looked at me and nodded: "So that's how it is, you have done quite a lot of lowly work. "Alright, when I buy this bar, you won't be a small worker if you come here again. It's a grandpa, haha."

Li Shun and I observed for a long time before we left.

When we got back to the hotel, we went to our respective rooms.

Now that I'm thinking about Yuan Duo, I took out my phone and sent a message to Qiu Tong: "autumnum, I'm going out with the boss now. I think I'll be out for a few days, I'll have to trouble you to take a look more at Yuan Duo's place."

Very quickly, Qiu Tong replied with a text message: Where did you and Li Shun go?

So it turned out that Qiu Tong did not know where Li Shun was. Since Li Shun didn't tell Qiu Tong, of course I couldn't tell her. I replied: "I'm sorry, autumnum, I can't tell you!"

"You — —" Qiu Tong said. "You dead pimple, you tell me."

"I really can't tell you. If you're really curious, you can ask Boss Li directly!" I replied.

"Alright, since you won't say anything, I won't ask anymore. I'm too lazy to know." Qiu Tong said: "There's no need for you to worry about Yuan Duo's matter, I will naturally take good care of it."

"Thank you, autumnum."

"Thank? Humph, thanks for the air. I don't ask where you are. Can you tell me how you travel? is it an airplane or a train or a car? "

"autumnum, I'm sorry, but I still can't tell you. Sigh … I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. I don't know why, but I feel a little dizzy. I gave a clever answer.

"Alright, I understand. You are afraid of heights."

"What does autumnum understand?"

"What do you think? Just act dumb for me. "

I secretly laughed in my heart, as I felt that Qiu Tong, who was at the side, was also smiling.

Very soon, it was time for dinner. Li Shun would treat guests to dinner tonight at the restaurant small room of the Kai Yuan Hotel. I don't know who this guest is, but Li Shun said that this guest is a major figure of the White Way of the Mingzhou with a bit of a show. As for his position, Li Shun didn't say anything.

At this moment, I feel that Li Shun is really something. Far back in the Haizhou, he could actually hook up with someone from the White Way of the Mingzhou.

Soon, the guests arrived. A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing casual clothes, looked very casual.

Li Shun passionately invited the guests to their seats and called out, "Big Brother Manager!" Without a doubt, this guest was also surnamed Li.

The customer seemed to be somewhat wary of my presence, politely shook my hand, and then looked at Li Shun.

Li Shun immediately said: "Brother Li, this is my brother!"

"Thanks to Brother Li. Good, very good. It's solid!" Li Shun said.

"Ever since we met him in the Qingdao during the seminar for the leaders of the coastal cities, it's been almost a year. Tell him later that he came to visit me when he's free." the customer said.

But because of Li Shun's previous showing off, I immediately understood.

My heart suddenly thumped. Fuck, this customer is really heavyweight. This is the person in charge of this system.

Then Li Shun's father would naturally be the person in charge of the system in the Haizhou.

This fortuitous discovery surprised me.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your good intentions. I'll definitely inform the old man later!" Li Shun said.

"Hur hur, alright. Come on, the dishes are all here. Let's eat and drink." The customer took the initiative and looked at me again.

Then, everyone started to drink and eat. After three rounds of drinks, Li Shun got down to business, "Boss Master, I came this time to fulfill the matter that I told you about a few days ago on the phone."

"Ahem —" The customer suddenly coughed and then looked at me again.

Li Shun understood what the guest meant and said: "This is my personal assistant, my personal bodyguard, you can trust him!"

The guest was expressionless as he continued to eat.

I concluded at this point that this person seemed to be very careful in his conduct and was very self-protective.

I know that Li Shun is going to discuss some important secret matters with this customer, the contents are obviously related to the purchase and operation of the bar. According to Li Shun's personality, he definitely wouldn't mistreat this guest.

Returning to my hotel room, I stood by the window and looked at the brightly lit city in the darkness. In my mind, I couldn't help but think of my years of hard work in the Mingzhou, those hardships, those glory, those friendships, those loves, those gains, those losses.

In this city, I have been impoverished, embarrassed, frivolous, squandered, deeply loved, happy, indulged, remorseful, lost. Now, all of this, like a passing cloud, will never come back, along with my past glory and unforgettable love.

I sighed softly, drew the curtains, sat down at my desk, turned on the computer, logged on to the Internet, and had a dream meeting with me.

She was online.

"Ru Meng, what are you doing?" I asked her.

"Me? I just got back from seeing a patient in the hospital and turned on my computer!" Floating Life said like a dream.

Just at this time, my phone received a message. I opened it and saw that it was from Qiu Tong. Yuan Duo, everything is as usual, I just came out of the hospital, don't think about it! "

"Thank you, autumnum!" I replied, putting away my phone.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything?" Floating Life asked dreamily.

"Oh, I'm making a phone." I said casually.

"Really? What a coincidence, I was just fiddling with my phone."

"I'm on the phone."

"Oh, I'm texting."

I composed myself. "Have you settled your matters?"

"How could he be so fast?" You just can't eat hot tofu in such a hurry. "

"We need to seize this opportunity. Don't delay any longer."

"I will, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Opportunities are always fleeting. I know this principle." Floating Life said like a dream.

"That's good …"

The melancholy in my heart faded, and I chatted happily with Floating Life.

Just as they were deep in conversation, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Shun stood at the entrance.

When I saw him, I hastily typed out a sentence: "I have a guest here. Goodbye!" Then, without waiting for Ru Meng's reply, she hurriedly put down the buckle.

If Li Shun knew that I was currently chatting with his fiancee, it would be weird if he wasn't crazy.

Li Shun staggered in, and looked at me: "Hey, is this computer made up for your room? How come I don't have a room? "

"This is the notebook I brought with me."

"I was wondering why the hotel had a laptop with it." Li Shun sat on the side of a bed and burped as he looked at me. "Are you not full yet?"

"I'm full."

Li Shun nodded his head: "That guy is extremely wary of people, and very cautious towards strangers. Fuck, even my people can't be trusted, and he still wants to work with me."

I said, "Are you done?"

"It's basically settled now:" Li Shun took out a cigarette for me, and then took out another for myself. I hurriedly took out a lighter for him to light, and Li Shun took two sips, "Don't look at this guy who is gentle and elegant, he is not an ordinary person, in Mingzhou, he is a powerful and shining lord. Fuck, I gave him a 1 million card, hoping that he would accept it and give me a green light. "F * ck, you still claim that you're good friends with the old gramps, that's all bullsh * t good friends are looking at money."

I said, "Investing in the shares is also not bad. We can still invest less."

"Do you really think he can pay? Bullshit, he's just investing in us. "F * ck!"

"Oh …" "So that's how it is!" I nodded. "And you agreed?"

Li Shun took another two puffs of smoke, "Of course I have to agree. In the future, if you want to do this, you have to bleed. However, I will not let him have his free time. As for the negotiations, I will have him arrange for someone to step in. We must suppress the price.

I nodded again.

Li Shun then said: "Tomorrow, he will discuss the price with me, and it just so happens that we don't have anything to do. You should go home and see your old daddy.

My heart tightened. I pretended that nothing had happened and said, "Alright, I welcome Boss to my house as a guest!"

Li Shun patted my shoulder, "You have been out for so long, yet you haven't made a single name for yourself. This time, you have to wait in line in order to get home, you have to save face and make me happy. I will rent a Mercedes-Benz from the hotel tomorrow and let you enjoy your life there."

And I said, "Well, this... "No need, boss!"

"You don't have to worry about this, do as I say!" Li Shun waved his hand, then said: "What? Brother, you seem to be preoccupied with something, do you have any concerns? "

I pretended to hesitate and said slowly, "I don't want my parents to know that I'm not doing well out there. I kept lying to them that I have my own foreign trade company. "This time, when we go back …"
