Chapter 1: The End of the Water and the End of the Mountain
“Dude! I was just a day late in sending the check! And you had to call the office to catch up with me… you know, just one day! It’s not convenient to talk here!”
Li Shaojie cursed himself for saying something stupid, these vampires of the underground money changers are clearly trying to harass you. To intimidate you in order to try to collect the outstanding debt.
Cold air from the other side of the teeth through the phone line, cold and ruthless: “You know the best, the next time the due date, we will send people to collect the bill. Understand!”
At this time out of the corner of his eye, the fat director pushed open the door of the office, a fierce face toward him, knowing that it is not good, busy microphone urgently said: “That’s it! You have hands and feet, to get there there, next time!” A goodbye, hung up the phone.
The fat director hard to move his flabby pile of giant body, meat trembling and arrived, put a stack of documents neatly on his desk, grim voice, nonchalant nonchalant like: “Mr. Lee, how to explain this mistake?”
Li Shaojie hard head, looking to the document under the eyes, horrified to find that he calculated the number of the disk, there are a few numbers were shocking red pen nonchalantly circled, this is still the first page, the other inner pages may be more body.
Just like the teacher has just approved the failed papers, one of the red circle next to the director of the fat Zhu approval. Written: “unforgivable error” seven small words; in addition to the corrected figures, really solid evidence, want to argue.
Li Shaojie thought: such a fat person, but write such a small font, you know how narrow-minded he is? All people have mistakes, although they are wrong more than a little, why do you have to be so in front of the same department of more than 20 colleagues to blame for their wrongs, do not leave half a face, clearly want to force the “young master” his resignation.
However, remembering the underground money bank that than the debt, three months of rent arrears, this is still must endure the moment, pretending to be respectful stood up, raised his hands and surrendered: “I will re-do it! Guarantee will not be wrong.”
Director Fatty fixed his glasses, narrowed his eyes, stared at him coldly for a while, pretended to be relaxed and took up the evidence of his mistake, and faintly said: “It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or not, I just informed the company’s God of Fortune, and he agreed that from this moment onwards, you’re not an employee of the Thousand Islands Enterprises any more. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the labor union.”
Ignoring Li Shaojie, who had become ashen-faced, he turned around and lifted his steps back toward his office, and after three or four steps, he turned his head again and said subtly, “I forgot to tell you that the union just fired you three days ago because you haven’t paid your dues for two months.”
The other coworkers all looked away, unable to bear to see Li Shaojie’s embarrassment. Only Director Fatty’s number one confidant, Xiao Zheng, who was already a dog and a bully in his day, exaggeratedly made a dumbfounded laugh.
Anger surging, Li Shaojie shouted, “Stand!”
Unperturbed, the fat director shifted his fat body and crossed his arms over his chest, emboldened, “I just happened to summon the guards, and they will give you a farewell party without drinks and food and guests.”
Before the words were out of his mouth, footsteps boomed at the entrance to the department, and four guards swarmed in in a murderous rage.
Director Fatty laughed and said: “Mr. Lee please go to the accounting department, they have already prepared a large envelope.
Hmph!” He went back to his room.
Li Shaojie halting finger drink: “Do not look down on me, one day I will come back, but no longer your subordinate, but your boss, can enjoy the only skill you make a living that is shoe shine.”
Colleagues know that he is out of control under the self-importance of nonsense, all shook their heads and sighed. Alas! A good young man with a clear and elegant face was dragged down to such a state by a woman.
Four guards surrounded him like a vicious prisoner, one of them slapped him and urged, “Mr. Li! Please pack up your personal belongings.”
The fat director did not reply, but only reported a sneer, full of derision and ridicule, and turned his head to go back to his room.
He wants to fix this kid not overnight.
Li Shaojie face, really want to brush his sleeve and go, even the big envelope do not want. But in this critical moment of the most need for silver, teach him to be qualified to act tough?
Sighing, he said, “No need to clean it up, just throw it all in the trash for me!”
With a clench of his teeth and a righteous angst, he strode past the guards toward the door of the accounting department.
In this world, begging for mercy is just a foolish act. The only way to win and be respected is to fight for yourself.
But without Qiuyi, his fighting spirit and self-confidence had long since disappeared. Now he just wanted to hide at home, even if he cried, he didn’t want people to see his tears!
Lunch hour.
Li Shaojie drank a mouthful of fast-food restaurant color and flavor lack of coffee, stubbornly said: “I have hands and feet, social and economic boom, afraid of evil death?”
Xie Junhe, who was sitting across the table, nodded sympathetically and said, “Well said! That’s the standard city fighter, but don’t forget this is your fourth job after your real estate business failed, and that record will scare anyone who wants to hire you.”
Li Shaojie slightly stunned, looking at this body type tall and thin, long a face with a little funny ingredient of the child’s face, disheveled softly fell into the chair and said: “Thank you for reminding, there is no one more than you understand my problem. When I think of it, I Li Shaojie talent, majestic, wherever I go who do not look at each other, that think of today’s tiger down by the dog bully.”
Xie Junhe, listening to this fallen hero complaining to himself with his usual exaggerated air, suddenly shook and called out in a low voice, “She’s coming!”
Li Shaojie followed his gaze, only to see a group of fashionably dressed office ladies crowded into a rowdy, in which a pretty face like a flower, the body of a beautiful yellow beauty, especially eye-catching, almost attracted the attention of all the men’s eyes.
She was smiling coquettishly and making small talk with the woman beside her.
Li Shaojie eyes light, whispered: “Good boy! Have a vision, tried and her pocket ride yet?”
Xie Junhe deliriously said: “I am pursuing spiritual love, as long as on the sidelines to see her will be satisfied, hey! Do you want her to think I’m a pervert?”
Li Shaojie shook his head and sighed, this best friend of his was really clueless about women. Alas! But how much better can he be than him, otherwise Qiuyi wouldn’t have abandoned him.
Xie Junhe knew what was on his mind and said in a low voice, “Is there no news from your sister-in-law?”
Li Shaojie silently drank the coffee in his hand, and suddenly got excited and said: “The phone is not half through. Mom! I did everything to please her; she thought that working was no good, so I went into business and lost all your and my big sister’s savings. But just when I needed moral support the most, she went away without a word, and left no slippers except half a bottle of sleeping pills, as if she thought I ought not to do anything else but kill myself.”
He became more and more agitated and his voice turned higher, drowning out the conversations at the nearby tables and drawing several pairs of glances, including the yellow-clad beauty Xie Jun, who was in line to buy a meal ticket, and the man of his dreams, whom he secretly had a crush on.
Her face is white and flawless, the kind of skin that attracts people without makeup, and the two legs under the miniskirt are round and smooth, so it’s no wonder that Xie Junhe was so charmed by her.
Seeing her talking eyes drifting to him, Li Shaojie took the opportunity to smile slightly. The beauty’s small mouth pouted and turned her head away in disdain.
Xie Junhe still does not know that the other party is on his behalf to ride his favorite beauty, uneasy said: “lower voice can? I remember when I first fell out of love in my second year of high school, didn’t you tell me that a girl is like a butterfly, if she wants to fly, let her fly! The most important thing is to immediately go to catch another to make up the number, why you are now out of control to such a field.”
Li Shaojie is secretly praised that pretty girl enough flavor, sniffed and said: “You that time there is no love, how come lost love?”
Xie Junhe couldn’t do anything about this friend, and said in annoyance, “Can you be a little bit more virtuous?”
Li Shaojie sincerely said: “Junhe! I am worried about your romantic future, graduated five years ago, you still have not set foot in love. Alas! Boss can not say the second, I am more useless than you, at least you did not burnt out!”
Xie Junhe looked at the time, said: “I have to go back to the company, go home and rest! Look at your eyes, to the red tendon completely conquered, last night drank a bottle or two bottles of old white?”
Old White is what they both respectfully call Brandy.
Li Shaojie stood up as Xie Junhe probed into the top of his suit.
Li Shaojie pressed his hand and said, “My big envelope can still handle it for now.”
Waving goodbye, he shook his head with a bitter smile and headed towards the sun-drenched street that never seemed to belong to him, disappearing into the flow of people.
Xie Junhe looked at his tall and straight back that was far away, and his heart felt a pang of emotion.
His appearance is not bad, his character is good, his mind is sophisticated, and his imagination is rich, but he is dragged down by a beautiful wife who can only share wealth and prosperity, but not sufferings, and he becomes totally demoralized and self-destructive!
It is clear that when you marry a wife and seek a lady, it is the inner beauty that counts.
Hey. – Hey! But if you marry “her”, even if you abandon her the next morning, you will willingly consider it worth the price of admission.
At this time, he saw that the yellow-clothed beauty also turned her head, quickly glanced at Li Shaojie, his heart immediately rose a strange feeling.
Li Shaojie in the crowded street walking zombie-like blank step. At that time, he was in a heavy mood, but he did not want to make his friend worry, so he pretended to be happy. The streets were bustling with activity, but his feeling was like walking alone in the arid desert without water or food.
This is indeed an accurate portrayal of his current circumstances.
He did not blame the fat director for dismissing him; he himself should be held fully responsible. He blames the other party for deliberately humiliating him in public, which is a deep and intolerable hatred.
Did you do something wrong in your past life?
When he was ten years old, his father died in an industrial accident, followed by his mother, leaving him with his twelve-year-old sister. If there was anyone in the world who still treated him well, it was his older sister and Xie Junhe. No one else.
He didn’t want to burden anyone, and the loan sharks he borrowed were to pay back his sister, who lent him the money for his business, so that she wouldn’t be blamed by his sister’s husband, who looked down on him. Even if he was forced to jump off a building, he would never want to add to the discord between her and her brother-in-law.
Mom! I’m going to work hard as a human being to impress others and bring Qiuyi back into my arms.
In a daze, he reached the entrance to the longing building where he lived.
The sound of a car rang out, and a silver-white Mercedes-Benz stopped beside him. The left and right doors opened, two big men jumped out nimbly, and when Li Shaojie was still not clear about what happened, they skillfully stuffed him into the car, and pinched him in the backseat of the car. Li Shaojie just wanted to call for help, his eyes fell on the back of the woman dressed in the front seat, and he forgot to make a sound under the dramatic shock.
The sedan drove smoothly out into the busy street.
The woman’s ear beads wearing a chic and expensive heart-shaped pendant, with the car line can not stop swaying, but like ringing the death knell of Li Shaojie.
She slowly turned her face away, sent out a reluctant smile, whispered: “Shaojie.” Li Shaojie forgot about the threat of the left and right big man, lost his voice and said: “Qiuyi!” It is actually half a year away from home, do not know where the wife of Ni Qiuyi.
She was even more ravishing than before, with just a touch more vulgarity and vicissitude added.
A low, confident voice came from the mouth of the tall man driving the car, saying, “Now we go to the law firm, after signing the contract, Xiaoyi will no longer have any relationship with you.”
Li Shaojie was dumbfounded and said, “What?”
The two big men beside him held his arms tightly, teaching him not to move.
Ni Qiuyi looked out the window, panting sharply, obviously also has a complex mood, after all, they have done a year in bed together as husband and wife.
The man who drove the car reached over and put his hand on Ni Qiuyi’s white and rounded thighs that were exposed outside the short skirt, and smiled lewdly at her and said, “I’ve helped Xiaoyi so much, how can you thank me tonight?”
Ni Qiuyi gave him an unnatural blank look and said, “You’re such a person! Let’s talk about it tonight!”
Li Shaojie eyes erupted with fire, shouted wildly: “Let me off, this is a captive blackmail, I want to call the police.”
The big man on his left elbowed him in the coils, causing an immediate spasm of pain.
The big man on the right said blandly, “Mr. Li still seems to be unable to recognize who our boss is?”
Li Shaojie’s heart marked, endured the pain and looked towards the tall and strong man driving the car.
At this time the sedan stopped in front of the traffic light, the man turned his head, his refined eyes glaring at him, saying, “Seeing that you are also a smart person, I personally came to talk to you because I want you to know my determination, I have a reputation and a position in the society, and I don’t want to have any trouble, you should understand my words.”
Li Shaojie’s heart shook as he recognized who the other party was.
Wei Bo! A big boss of a movie company with high press coverage, famous for making hot and triple pornographic movies, always accompanied by a large group of stars, and rumored to be a prominent figure in the underworld.
Li Shaojie’s heart sank straight down and looked towards Ni Qiuyi.
The car pulled out and Weibo’s attention returned to driving.
Ni Qiuyi said softly, “Shaojie! Boss Wei promised to make me a star.”
Li Shaojie said sharply, “He’s lying to you, Chou… Oh!” His arm was pinched so hard that he burst into tears.
Wei Bo coldly said: “I’ll drive you to the lawyer’s office, naturally there are ways to teach you to submit, show him his third grade photo, humph! Not three, should be four or five.”
The two evil men beside him laughed, and one of them took out a stack of photos and flipped them over in front of his eyes one by one.
Li Shaojie was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to drill into.
Since Qiuyi left, he only betrayed Qiuyi once, it was in a bar drunk, confused and a just met a woman to her home fooling around, that was ten days ago, at that time thought it was flying in the air, now I know it is a peach trap, evidence of adultery.
Wei Bo coldly said: ”I, Wei Bo, have never tasted failure in what I want to do, but for the sake of Qiu Yi’s face, I’m just being especially polite to you. Let’s do it this way! You owe the underground money that fifteen hundred and eighty thousand zero thirty dollars, I repay on your behalf, as long as you are like a man in the divorce agreement on the fast sign a name.”
The left side of the evil man in his ear Yin Dao: “Your underground money changers are our people, assuming that you do not behave, you should know what will happen?”
Li Shaojie disheveled and softly collapsed at the back seat, hot tears of humiliation and resentment came out of his eyes, finally giving way to his tears.
No! One day I’ll fight for my breath. Li Shaojie will never give in!
Li Shaojie wine breath, staggering feet pushed open the door, just closed the door and fell to the cold ground.
Misery surged wildly through his heart.
Nothing! There’s nothing left.
After losing his job and Qiuyi, what’s left for him?
In this life, he did not expect to be able to win Wei Bo, a man of wealth and power, and even had no hope of retaliation for the humiliation of the fat director, he was completely finished.
Li Shaojie climbed up and sat in the chair.
The phone rang, and he tried to reach for the receiver, but in the end he dropped his hand in dismay, the comforting words no longer meaning anything to him.
Ringing terminated.
The home was a mess, and without Qiuyi the home was no longer a home.
After signing the divorce papers, he used to blame the heavens and the earth for his resentment, but now he only hated himself. It was all his own fault, otherwise fate would not have gone in the direction of this resentment.
Alas! Life was just too painful. He would never be able to live a normal life if he couldn’t fight for his breath back, and no one knew his stubborn nature better than he did.
He then staggered to his feet and felt his way into the sleeping room, searching around the head of Qiuyi’s old dresser, finally picking up a small bottle of pills.
This is the only object left behind by Qiuyi more than ten sleeping pills.
I wonder if she still needs to take this stuff now?
The sea of annoyance could not help but fantasize about the heart of that Wei Bo’s dark and vicious body jiggling on her snow-white body.
Li Shaojie raised the vial and shook it in front of his eyes a few times, making a series of crunching sounds of the pills lightly hitting the wall of the vial, and murmured, “You are the most important thing to have the full effect of the spirit to teach me to sleep and not be able to sleep, and not have to get up again tomorrow.” Uncorked the bottle, poured the pills into the mouth.
Only then did he stagger out into the hall, open the fridge, fetch a bottle of cold water, take three large gulps, wave the bottle off, and “Dang!” The bottle of water hit the wall and shattered into pieces.
Cold water and sleeping pills rushed into the throat, Li Shaojie woke up a wake up, thinking: “swallowing sleeping pills to commit suicide, not nearly a hundred particles is difficult to die, I now swallowed only more than ten particles, how easy to die to go?”
Looking toward the empty part of the terrace, he winced.
No, no, no, no! Never jump off a building. That’s a horrible way to die.
Fire? Possible involvement of others?
A wave of dizziness hit his head, Li Shaojie laughed and gasped, like he had encountered the most ridiculous thing in the world.
It was then that I realized that death is not an easy thing to do, and that it would be nice to have a book like “The Complete Book of Painless Suicide”.
The next moment he found himself crouching on the floor. The sound of a heart leaping slowly resounded in his head. In confusion he reached up and clambered over the small table beside him, and a couple of lamps fell to the side of his face.
In a flash of inspiration, he managed to get up on his knees, took off the bulb, stuck two fingers into the energizer, and twisted the light switch.
He screamed wildly as his whole body tumbled backward, “Bang!” The back of his head hit the floor. His eyes went black, and he finally passed out.
Chapter 2: Wonderful Dreams
Li Shaojie walked down the street, his mind in a daze. What was he doing?
The sunlight that poured down was much more dazzling than usual and seemed to lift and purify everything.
He felt a heavy heart, but didn’t know for what reason, and then he found himself crammed into an elevator with a dozen or so white-collar men and women.
As the point of light jumped to the eighteenth floor, he couldn’t help but walk towards the outside. His footsteps led him to the front door of a building that read “Zhu’s Real Estate”.
He dropped his head and thought for the first time, “Is he dreaming?” Then he realized that he was sitting in front of a thin man of about fifty years of age, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed casually and of medium build.
The man was looking at his resume and said coldly, “Mr. Li has a really wide range of jobs, investment company, import and export of food and oil, super market, hey! Only except for the first job you did for half a year, none of the others were more than half a year, I want to know the reason.”
Li Shaojie found himself stammering as he replied, “There’s no particular reason, I just feel that none of them are jobs that I really like and are suitable for.”
The man leaned forward a little, his eyes flashed with a tidal color, his tone turned cold and said, “I dislike dishonest people the most, I happen to know someone from Thousand Island Enterprises, and asked about you.”
Li Shaojie was stunned and said, “Then why do you still want to see me?”
That person said: “Because my friend in the Thousand Islands that your appearance and mind are not bad, should be able to do things material, so I feel a little interested in you and.”
Li Shaojie joyfully said: “Then is willing to hire me?”
The man said flatly, “I’m sorry! First of all, I don’t like people who tell lies at the first meeting; secondly, you should go home and look in the mirror to see what you’ve become. Please go! I have a lot of things to do.”
Li Shaojie’s heart sank downward, submerged in the bottomless abyss, after a period of rotation, he realized that he was at home.
The voice announcing the stirring of the hexagram came from the television. One by one the numbers were reported. Then he came to his senses and realized he was sleeping on the floor.
The phone rang, Li Shaojie, wearing a bath towel, walked over to pick up the microphone and said, “Who?”
Big sister Li Shao Bi anxious voice from the microphone came: “You made the night where to go, I called the whole night phone is no one to listen to.”
Li Shaojie subconsciously touched the back of his head where the pain was still lingering, remembering the drunken foolishness of committing suicide on the night of making, and laughed: “Don’t worry! I will not commit suicide.”
One time isn’t enough? That’s good enough for anyone.
Li Shao Bi said: “ghosts worry that you will commit suicide, I look for you, is to ask you to go to the interview for a job, to the people dismissed also did not notify me, causing me to call the thousand islands to go, I do not know how embarrassing it!”
Li Shaojie wondered, “Interview?”
Big sister said: “You are not nervous, only by me to worry about you. These weeks I keep sending out cover letters for you, and just yesterday I received a reply from a company asking you to come there for an interview at 2:30 p.m. on the dot, alas! You really need to pull yourself together.”
Li Shaojie heart a burst of gratitude, copied down the address, and then listen to the big sister taught a few words, before hanging up the phone. Looking at the glass shards on the ground, Li Shaojie remembered Wei Bo and Qiuyi, surging with uncontrollable misery, sat down disheveled, cupped his hands over his face, and screamed to himself: “No! I can not sink down like this!”
Li Shaojie looked at the point of light jumped to the eighteenth floor stopped, the heart rose a chill, why will have a sense of déjà vu? It was as if he had experienced the same scene not long ago, including the people in the elevator, and the woman in red was the one with the deepest impression.
He stepped out of the elevator in a daze and looked to his left to see a signboard that read “Zhu’s Real Estate”.
His heart was wildly shaken, and for a while he was unable to lift his steps.
Day! I remember. Isn’t this the same as the dream? How could it be such a coincidence?
Remembering last night’s encounter, she hurriedly straightened her hair and clothes and took a deep breath before raising her steps to the door and reaching out to ring the bell.
The door opened and Li Shaojie walked to the reception desk opposite the front door. The dainty reception lady hung up the phone, asked for the purpose of the visit, and then asked him to sit down and wait.
Li Shaojie took the opportunity to survey, this is a small company, a few empty table only two pretty girls in the office, but the phone is ringing non-stop, it seems that business is quite good.
“Mr. Lee! The boss invites you in.”
Li Shaojie’s heart was tense as he stood up and followed that lady’s instructions towards the only room in the company.
“Duk-duk!”
“Come in!”
Li Shaojie’s whole body shivered, he still remembered the voice. The exact same man as the man in the dream, wearing the same clothes, sitting on a chair and narrowing his eyes to survey him.
Li Shaojie’s entire body was sweating, and he sat stiffly in the chair across from him. Was he still in a dream or not?
That person said: “My name is Zhu, Zhu’s real estate is my foundation, I have always worked in real estate companies, there are many customers, so the results are quite good, soon we will be moving to the new land to buy, so we need to develop the business of fresh troops.”
Li Shaojie’s mind was shaken and he nodded his head like a dull bird.
Mr. Zhu picked up the resume on the table and said while looking at it : “Mr. Li has a wide range of jobs, investment companies, import and export of food and oil, freight forwarding, supermarkets, hey! Only except for the first job you did six months, none of the other is more than six months, I want to know the reason.”
Li Shaojie’s heart screamed: Oh my God! Here it comes! It really is exactly like the dream.
Mr. Zhu frowned: “Mr. Li?”
Li Shaojie coughed dryly and said, “Mr. Zhu… Hey, Mr. Zhu, I really wanted to say that the jobs were not suitable for me! Mr. Chu, I really wanted to say that those jobs were not suitable for me and that’s why I couldn’t stay in them for long, but I’ve never known how to lie in my life, so I couldn’t say the words.”
Mr. Zhu, slightly stunned, nodded his head and said, “Then tell the truth!”
Li Shaojie said: “I have problems with my ex-wife, so in the past two years at work, even I am not satisfied with myself. This time, I changed jobs because I want to make a fresh start. Oh! Yesterday I just finalized my divorce with her, so it won’t affect my mood at work anymore.” Speaking of this, the heart is again a burst of bitterness and misery.
After looking at him carefully for a while, Mr. Zhu’s eyes fell back to his resume and asked in Mandarin, “Many of our clients are people from China and Taiwan, can you handle that?”
Li Shaojie was delighted, knowing that things were looking up, and was busy responding in Mandarin. Mr. Zhu then asked a few questions in his still broken English, and Li Shaojie dealt with them one by one.
After graduating from secondary school, he studied business for two years, and has worked hard on his Putonghua and English, which can be put to good use now.
Mr. Zhu said with satisfaction: “Your articulation is quite fluent, reaction is also fast, do our business, in addition to the hands of the strength of the property, but also on the guests clanging appearance to identify the color, casting their favor, even if today’s transaction does not work, next year does not work, the day after tomorrow, they will still turn back to look for you. Alas! The competition in this business is getting bigger and bigger, I originally had eight salespersons, favoring the time when I want to expand, to the ‘Anju real estate’ wind intentionally high salaries and thick commissions dug out.”
Stretching his head to look at the two girls outside through the glass, he sighed, “There are only two wild girls left who have no one to take them in, and they have a lot to offend and a lot to call them, alas! I have to… cough…”
Li Shaojie did not have time to look deeply into why he wanted to talk, and said with great joy: “Are you willing to use me?”
Mr. Zhu nodded: “Yes! If you do not have anything else, you can go to work tomorrow, we are the adoption of the district system, base salary plus commission, the probationary period of three months.” After a pause, said: “Is there a problem?”
Li Shaojie swooped onto the stage, reached out and shook Mr. Zhu’s hand tightly and said, “I’m really grateful, you’re my blister in the sea, the sweet spring in the desert, and the divine doctor for the terminally ill, hey!”
Mr. Zhu frowned at his hand, which was painfully shaken, and said unmoved, “Let’s hope I’m not the next one to fire you!”
Li Shaojie excitedly walked down the street with a bounce, the world was suddenly lovely and full of life.
Akiyi belongs only to the dark world of the past, and he vows to start over.
In the past, the main reason for his disheveled disillusionment was that he was still not dead to Qiuyi, but now that his heart was dead, he recovered his fighting spirit and anger instead.
Those days were so long and horrible.
Being in such a good mood, should I get Jun and come out to celebrate, he’s the only friend I have left.
At this time he just passed the betting station, a paste memory swept through his mind, and after a sharp shock stopped, “Ah!” A screamed, face changed greatly. Passersby helplessly avoided, afraid to bump into a nervous disorder.
Li Shaojie closed his eyes and stretched out his hands, grasping the air falsely a few times, hot sweat dripping out from the corners of his forehead.
I don’t know why I only remember one number! Why do I only remember one number? In my dream, I heard every number in my ear. It seems that there is also a “twenty-four”. Li Shaojie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and rushed into the betting center like a whirlwind.
The bar.
Sitting in the opposite seat of the Jun and listened to the dumbfounded, unbelievably said: “If you did not really find a job, looking for ghosts will not believe your words.”
Li Shaojie, with his eyebrows fluttering, took out a large stack of Mark Six cards and smiled: “I will tell you with facts, I did have this wonderful precognitive dream, ‘three’ and ‘twenty-four’ are definitely not wrong, and the others? Hey!” He proudly raised the large stack of paper cards.
Xie Junhe looked at his wristwatch and said with a gloomy expression: “It should be revealed, I’ll check it for you.” Li Shaojie buried his face in the palm of his hand and prayed in secret, but unfortunately, he had forgotten most of the Holy Mother’s scriptures, so the only thing he could do was to recite a simpler “Namo Amitabha Buddha”.
Xie Junhe came back from the phone room, grabbed his shoulder and said, “Oh my god! There are really ‘twenty-four’ and ‘three’, look at the other numbers.”
Two disheveled fell back, Li Shaojie disappointed want to cry out, the opportunity missed will never come back to you, why can’t they concentrate in the dream?
Jun Woong muttered, “It’s good to hit a consolation prize! Poor me, I’ve never even won a consolation prize.”
Suddenly, his spirit was revitalized again, and he probed over and grabbed him by the shoulders, saying, “Get back to bed, maybe you’ll be able to dream again about what’s going to happen tomorrow.”
Li Shaojie was dumbfounded and said, “These things don’t happen every night, do they?”
Joon Woo said excitedly, “How can I know if I don’t sleep? I’ve read in the newspaper that there are many types of dreams that can predict the future. It is said that before Lincoln was assassinated, he dreamed that he was assassinated, but he couldn’t escape from the catastrophe!”
Li Shaojie stared at him blankly.
Jun and continued: “Friends! If you can predict the fate, even if only one day of fate, you already have the world’s invincible weapons, imagine if you go to gambling, speculation in stocks will have what consequences?”
Li Shaojie let out a breath of air and gasped, “Knowing the destiny, or one can change the destiny, heaven! In fact, I have changed the fate predicted in the dream, Zhu’s real estate would not have hired me.”
Toshikazu pulled out a check in his pocket and handed it over to him, “Take this money and pay the rent! It’s my investment in you, Superman.”
Li Shaojie sweated: “Why are you so nice to me?”
Toshikazu tucked the check into the pocket of his jacket and said reminiscently, “Remember when you stood up to me when a class of dudes tried to beat me up in the third grade?”
Li Shaojie hate voice: “The result is that we gave a beating, back to the big sister scolded enough three days and three nights.”
Jun and pinched his shoulder said: “you are my good friend since young, although now I do not worship you, but there is no way not to do good to you, when I made friends, only one left you. Now just for the sake of the interests of the friends of the flesh and blood, and then difficult to have like between us that kind of true love, so sometimes I am very annoyed at your self-abandonment, but still can not bear to ignore you.”
Li Shaojie was touched: “You are really a bright light in the sea of my misery, the director of the Marriage Reef Guidance Center, and the lucky boy in front of the Buddha… Your great kindness…”
Jun and laughed and scolded: “You are still so exaggerated, want to repay the favor! Quickly go home and go to sleep! I’m counting on you to make me rich.”
Yes, it is! If you want to give back a little color to show that adulterous couple, you have to make money, and you have to make it fast and a lot to do it.
That night he had a dream of taking the world’s most difficult to serve a couple full of copper and arrogance to see more than ten properties, suffered all the ooze. The man also knew how to read feng shui, and as a result, he couldn’t do half the business, leaving behind a belly full of indignant anger.
The next day he returned to the company, the boss is still not back, yesterday saw the two salespersons have not yet appeared in the shadow, only he and the receptionist sitting opposite.
“Mr. Lee!”
Li Shaojie was pondering whether he would really meet the pair of aged men and women in his dream last night, when he was startled by the smell and looked at the lady sitting at the reception desk who was responsible for opening the door.
He was so distracted that he did not pay attention to anyone, and it was only then that he took a good look at the young lady in front of him. She was beautiful, very pretty, and especially hard to resist was her scintillating youthfulness and wholesomeness, and he would have liked to have asked her to stand up and walk a couple of steps and turn around a couple of times to see what she looked like.
The girl coldly handed over a piece of paper and said, “This is the temporary employee contract, if you have read it and have no problems, then sign it! It’s from Dad.”
Li Shaojie realized that she was the daughter of the boss and immediately stood in awe.
Ms. Zhu didn’t seem to have much affection for him and buried her head in her work, no longer paying attention to him.
“Hi!” One of those two salespersons, all in flaming red rushed in, crossed Li Shaojie with a wink and smiled before speaking: “I’m Anna, glad you came to join our family business, Nida is the boss’s daughter-in-law, I’m the boss’s niece, and the other one you’ve seen before is my cousin Jenny, did you get the material yet?” After electrifying him with her eyes one more time before she brushed herself off with a fragrant breeze.
Although her beauty is slightly inferior to Miss Zhu Nida, but the victory in the flirtatious charm to the bone, and know how to dress, who can not say that she does not have a huge temptation.
Li Shaojie was slightly pleased to have gotten back some of his male dignity in Anna, and was glad that there were still women interested in him, although he wouldn’t trust any more women, Qiuyi being the best example.
Nida made a face at Anna’s back, playful and cute, and the two ninjas didn’t seem to be getting along.
At this time Jenny just stepped into the door, coldly greeted Li Shaojie, went back to the desk and sat down.
She is wearing a pair of gold glasses, the appearance of more Anna demure, but a pair of eyes elf blazing, it seems that the boss of her “wild girl” criticism, although not hit also not far away.
She was at least half a head taller than Anna, and only a little shorter than Li Shaojie, who was nearly six feet tall. Her appearance could not be considered as a beauty, but she had a great character, and with her height, she had a kind of proud and outstanding charm. Especially that pair of long legs, can make any normal man salivate.
Li Shaojie wondered: Why did I fail to see the attractiveness of them yesterday with my eyes open like a blind man? Is it true that I have now freed myself from Qiuyi’s invisible heart lock?
In the middle of his thoughts, Zhu Ming, the boss, swept in like a whirlwind, swept past Li Shaojie, and came between Anna and Jenny’s two tables, saying, “Who of you doesn’t have a date today?”
Anna said warily, “First of all, what’s the matter?”
Jenny simply said : “I’m not free, I’ve already made an appointment with a guest to see three properties.”
Zhu Ming take them can not, sighed: “Luo Geng just called me last night, want me to give a few properties he looked at, I pushed early said no time, you two how to find someone to accompany him, the lottery also have a draw it!”
Anna said, “Haven’t I had enough last time? Don’t make this kind of money! Don’t fuck with me!”
Li Shaojie’s heart stirred, and after haphazardly signing the temporary contract, he walked over and said, “I’m accustomed to being angry, let me try!”
Zhu Ming looked him up and down a few times and hesitated.
Anna and Jenny cheered in unison, jumped up, grabbed their handbags and dispersed in a flurry of unawareness, leaving Zhu Ming and Li Shaojie stunned relative.
After a while, Zhu Ming helplessly said: “Remember, do not offend him, although it is difficult to serve, but they are really out of money speculation in the people, but their customary not seen more than a hundred properties, is not to make a choice, and our properties are not good enough for people, so every time is for the dowry of the sister child. Alas!”
Li Shaojie asked, “That Mr. Luo…”
Zhu Ming laughed: “Do not call him Mr. Luo, he is not surnamed Luo, but surnamed Ding, called Ding Guicai. Only because every time he looks at the building are holding the Luo Geng to look at the feng shui, real estate industry just gave him a nickname called ‘Luo Geng only’, understand? Is that clear?”
Li Shaojie’s heart shook wildly, oh my god! Can I really dream every night about what will happen on the day that follows the arrival ah? He was no longer an ordinary man, but a fighter of fate with the ability to cross a day in time and space.
I’m determined to change the fate I foresaw in my dream last night.
Shaojie Li dragged his tired body back to the office and sat down in an empty chair, his face turned to Jenny and Anna who were looking at him sympathetically.
The two men naturally have a very different outlook on him because he has seen justice done.
Zhu Ming pushed the door and walked in, breathed a sigh of relief, as if putting down a ten thousand pounds of heavy burden, said: “It does not matter if you can not do business, as long as they do not complain about you to scold me a meal, I will kowtow to thank God’s grace.”
Li Shaojie wondered, “Why do you guys look like you’re afraid of them?”
Zhu Ming sat down in another chair, his tone surprisingly huffy and said: “Luo Gengcai also has another nickname called ‘Godfather of property speculation’, he is the triad’s grandmaster level characters, otherwise why would there be so much cash speculation in property!”
Li Shaojie came to a realization.
Anna hate voice said: “this salty uncle loves to touch each other, the transaction is not to give him to take advantage of all the cheap, mention his real estate sector of the beautiful girls are called slaves are afraid of.”
When she said the word “pretty girl”, she gave Li Shaojie a special wink.
A smile escaped from the corner of Li Shaojie’s mouth as he pulled out two temporary sale and purchase contracts from his pocket and handed them to Zhu Ming, saying, “Whether he’s Luo Gengcai or the godfather of property speculation, I’ve made two of his businesses.”
After Zhu Ming was stunned, he took the contract, opened it, stared with unbelievable eyes, and lost his voice: “Has he turned deadly?”
Anna and Jenny also stared at him in jaw-dropping silence.
A soft cry of surprise came vaguely from outside from Nida, who was eavesdropping on them.
Li Shaojie stood up and said as if nothing had happened, “I’m very tired, can I walk half a step earlier?”
Jumin nodded his head like a dull bird.
Li Shaojie walked towards the main entrance, purposely not looking at Nida, his heart filled with intense emotions. As long as he was able to foresee the future, he would be able to avoid evil and change his fate, then he could one day get what he wanted and make Qiuyi regret having left him.
He wants revenge, revenge on all the bad women.
Chapter 3: Scumbag
“Ding!” The two glasses clinked together, the crystalline champagne in them shivering and rippling.
Xie Junhe was so excited that his child’s face glowed brightly, almost singing out: “To our future happiness, cheers!” Drink up.
Li Shaojie gasped and said: “I bought through the watch more, by his mouth told Luo Gengcai, that the former tenant of the commercial building has been rich, moved to Causeway Bay’s highest commercial building, the company also listed, earn to the plate full of money, he he swallowed the mouth of the greedy greedy look, really seen to believe that there is so ugly, what is the good feng shui evidence is more convincing than this? Feng Shui is not good that can be so!”
Xie Junhe said uneasily, “If he realizes that you’re lying to him, both you and that accomplice may die.”
Li Shaojie said: “Don’t worry! I will not go out of my way to cheat people, unless it is a bad person, but at that time I do not know what he is. And see more said is also the truth, but by my tea money, of course, is to fall force point and exaggerate a little.” After a pause continued: “He would have to compare other properties before buying, but before I left to that look at the more said that there will be someone to come to the second look at the property, speculation on the godfather heard that they will not say anything to buy, and even the floor below are not spared, said that the two plates are the same feng shui, do you think it’s wonderful?”
Xie Jun and like the first time to recognize him like a long time after examining, nodded his head: “If in the past you dry real estate have now half of the power, it will not be almost to bankruptcy.”
Li Shaojie was slightly stunned, thought for a while and said: “In the past, I was only doing it reluctantly for Qiuyi, but now it’s for myself, you and big sister. You also do not know how painful I, in just two hours to check more than ten properties, really God bless the good people.”
Xie Junhe leaned forward and said with glowing eyes, “What should we do tomorrow? Let’s go to the casino! As long as we win 10-20 million dollars, we can create our Lee Hsieh International Investment Company, with your ability to transcend time and space, our investment company will be invincible.”
Li Shaojie laughed bitterly: “Don’t forget that those dreams are out of my control, how do I know that fate is willing to reveal his grandfather’s heavenly book which to me to know? Don’t worry! If I dream again to Mark Six numbers, or open big open small, will not let go of the opportunity to develop, then two and one add five, our brothers can be a good time.”
Xie Junhe impatiently stood up and said, “Cut the crap and go back to sleep.”
Li Shaojie returned to the company, it was nine o’clock and the door was still open.
It was fifteen minutes before Nida came in, called down to him softly in the morning, and opened the door to enter.
Li Shaojie followed her, he was the first time to see the full phase of the standing up, found him even flesh and bone, body movement, can not help but eat fingers. Nida sat down, but also in front of her stage does not go.
Nida feigned indifference, and after looking at him, she coldly said, “Is there something wrong, Mr. Lee?”
Li Shaojie said: “Why do you always come back earlier than your father? Don’t you go out together?”
Nida furrowed her brows and said, “We’re not living together, so if you don’t have a problem, go back to work! I have a lot of things I need to do in a hurry.”
Li Shaojie was greatly disinterested and walked away.
Then woke up.
The following day at 9:30 p.m.
Li Shaojie stepped sharply into the elevator, squeezing right up next to Nida.
Nida gave a low cry of morning, to which Shawn Lee responded with his best poised smile and said no more.
Hmph! Since you don’t like me touting for you, I, Li Shaojie, will show you the gentlemanly demeanor of not being polite.
When he reached the office door, he pushed it open for her again before returning to his desk and sitting down, thinking to himself that this ninny had set me up to act intoxicated and intoxicated for a while before the phone rang.
Xie Junhe’s voice came out: “How is it! Open big or small?”
Li Shaojie disheveled: “How can it be so easy to make money, I only dreamed of other things, all in the company.”
Xie Jun and the excitement does not diminish said: “I think last night full night, thought of some very interesting problems, eat lunch with you only secret deliberation.”
Li Shaojie laughed and responded: “Fast food restaurant, girl in yellow, dream girl, right?”
Hanging up the line.
The mood was jubilant.
The ability to foresee the events of the previous day ignited his hope for vengeance, overriding the pain of losing Qiuyi, for that had been replaced by hatred.
Honestly, he wasn’t so very them anymore. Girls, let them fly away like butterflies, Nida was much more fresh and exciting to him, and her simplicity made him feel safe.
Or he needs to thank Qiuyi and Wei Bo, without them, he would not have committed suicide, and he is afraid that he would not have the potential to change the future.
“Hi!” Jenny and Anna linked arms.
Anna was particularly sexy today, with a tight dress that accentuated her hot body, and Jenny looked like she had been deliberately dressed up, much more dazzling than yesterday.
While Jenny went to the restroom, Anna whispered to him: “Yesterday you helped me so much, do not have to go to socialize with the old salty worm Luo Gengcai, let me be a small host, treat you to eat Yan it!”
Li Shaojie apologized : “What a coincidence, I just made an appointment, let’s see which day! I’m new here, let me invite the seniors.”
Anna let out a disappointed “oh”.
Li Shaojie thought: my target is not you, but little Nida, let Nida see me and you fooling around, then there is still a chance?
At this time Zhu Ming came back, summoned Li Shaojie into the room, after a long time of contemplation, said: “Last night Luo Geng just called me, praised you are his lucky boy, just bought those two disk, the hands of the stock rose an average of 20%, so he decided to buy buildings in the future only to find you.”
Li Shaojie heart shocked, Luo Geng only so superstitious, if the stock fell tomorrow, is not also by him to take up that responsibility?
Zhu Ming muttered: “Originally, I was ready to pay a deposit and give up on renting the land, but the fact that you made me two big plates on the first day you came here gave me new hope and made me decide to take the plunge. The cost of doing business is naturally much heavier, but it can attract customers from the street, and it is not as difficult to develop as it is now.”
Li Shaojie heart is not absent-minded only promise, but the heart is thinking of Luo Gengcai potential substantial threat.
Before lunch, he took the guest to see a plate, although he could not do business, but he succeeded in winning the guest’s favor.
When he arrived at the fast-food restaurant, Xie Junhe had already bought lunch for him and whispered, “Here it is, the one at the back right of you against the glass window.”
Li Shaojie turned his head to look at, just that the office building beauty a pair of eyes also looked at him, the two eyes touched under the beauty was busy lowering his head, fraudulent and the table of the girl to talk to, the demeanor of the delicate and incomparable.
This time Xie Junhe realized, color change said: “days! You do not want to take love.”
Li Shaojie said: “Do not blame me, their own fight! This kind of one-in-a-million stunning beauty, no one chasing death I do not believe that slow hands and feet can not be? Maybe to the talent scout to discover to do advertising models or stars, then it is cheaper for those gentlemen and the boss of the film company.”
Speaking of which, remembered Wei Bo and Qiuyi this “tomorrow’s pornographic star”, immediately food difficult to swallow.
Xie Junhe shook his head decisively and said, “What you said is a bit crooked, let’s do it that way! You go after her, better than she fell into the hands of evil people.”
Li Shaojie sighed: “Friends wife can not be deceived, although she is not your wife, but your dream lover, even if the money I will earn far away, so as not to damage the feelings between our brothers. Well! Quickly say you think of developed plan, I am really poor for too long.”
Xie Jun and solemn said: “I think for you enough for one night is about the fate of the cause and effect relationship.” Like afraid of not persuasive enough to lean forward to shake his fist and said: “You can not dream today is open big or small, only because you do not plan to go to the casino today, so that is not going to happen today, do you understand what I mean?”
Li Shaojie nodded his head as soon as he was dumbfounded and said : “I understand, as long as I do have to go to the witnessing venue today, then I deserve to be able to dream about the casino last night because that’s what will happen today, is that right?”
Xie Junhe vigorously patted him on the shoulder, and with his other hand, he drew out two tickets in his jacket pocket, and excitedly said, “That’s right! Tomorrow is the weekend, I bought two tickets to Macau to go to the boat, together to go to the casino out of food, Sunday we go to the horse farm, Monday we quit our jobs together, to create our dream kingdom.” Can’t help but stare hard at that pretty girl twice, obviously his dream kingdom, also includes that white-collar girl.
Li Shaojie frowned and said: “Things do not seem to be as simple as you think, that time to buy Mark Six is just a temporary decision, why can I dream?”
Xie Junhe spread his hands and said: “You ask me, I ask who? Or simply you will buy Mark Six on that day, very few people will plan to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow, mostly on a whim to buy a half of him. Don’t think nonsense, tonight before going to bed, remember to recite the scriptures like reading tomorrow to go to the casino, you can day plan, night dream.”
At that moment the lady passed by the platform, and both of them were tired of sniffing vigorously with their noses to take advantage of her fragrant wind.
It was a busy afternoon, and he was in a much different mood when he took a client through a few panels and was lucky enough to make a sale. After work, he went to the bookstore and bought a couple of books on the study of dreams, and watched a movie before going home.
After flipping through a few pages, a feeling of fatigue and lonely despondency came over me. I needed to find myself a girlfriend, and what better entertainment in the world than to sleep with a beautiful woman in your arms! Anna, Jenny, preferably Nida, and… hey! That one belonged to Tse Chun Woong, so I shouldn’t even think about it.
It wasn’t like he was asking for a long-lasting relationship, so what did it matter if he had fun with a bold girl like Anna?
In his rambling thoughts, he fell into a deep sleep in his chair.
He dreamed of walking side by side with Nida on the street and hearing himself unable to stop teasing her, Nida just responding coldly with one word.
When he asked what she usually loved to do, Nida paused and said with sunken lids, “I know Dad is trying to create opportunities for you and I to spend time together, he’s the most selfish person in the world, and he’s always hated us as mother and daughter because Mommy left him with me, and now that he sees that you’re a talented person, he’s trying to use me to keep you, but I’m not as good as he wants me to be.
Please! No need for you to accompany me.” Hurriedly, he walked away.
Li Shaojie rushed up and said, “At least let me send it to the door, okay?”
Nida said angrily: “You do not follow me like a ghost with hanging boots, for my boyfriend to see the misunderstanding, who will compensate me?” She left without a care in the world.
Li Shaojie was greatly hurt and stayed on the street.
The bell rang loudly.
Li Shaojie sleepily climbed up and stretched his muscles, secretly wondering who would come to him so early in the morning.
The one who rushed in was Xie Junhe, who nervously said, “Does it work?”
Thinking of Nida’s ruthlessness towards him in his dream, Li Shaojie smiled bitterly and said, “Last night I only had a nightmare.”
Xie Junhe changed color and said, “You didn’t lose that ability, did you?”
Li Shaojie said : “Don’t worry! That nightmare is related to today.”
Xie Junhe slightly put down his heart, bitter thought incomprehensibly said: “There is no reason, how could you not dream about the casino?”
Li Shaojie said : “Will we go to the casino today?”
Xie Junhe huffed, “What’s the point of going now?”
Li Shaojie kindly said: “Look! We simply will not go to the casino today, that will not happen today, so how could I dream last night?”
Xie Junhe reached up and scratched his head, seeming to understand, with a sad face.
Li Shaojie’s mind flew to Nida. For two nights in a row, he had only dreamed of this beautiful sweet girl, was it because that was the most important top priority in front of him?
You’re not going to fall in love with her, are you?
No! You should never fall in love with any woman again. They should only be used to spice up life, add a bit of elegance, the real important thing is to create their own business, with money life will have meaning, money is the only way to change the dignity of the treasure.
When he returned to the company, Jenny and Anna were busy, taking turns to receive guests in the conference room, but he was free. When he was thinking about why he was walking with Nida, the fragrant wind rolled up, Anna shouldered a big bag, half of her body next to his back, her high and soft breasts pressed against him, and whispered warmly in his ear, “I’ve got two hours of space in the afternoon, aren’t you going to treat people to dinner?”
Li Shaojie secretly thought that there is nothing to do, and her flirting for two hours is also a beautiful thing, not to mention that she seems to be very generous to their own bodies, the heart is itching to say yes, Zhu Ming’s voice sounded in the back: “Anna, you do not mess with Shaojie, I have something to do today to ask him to help.”
Anna stomped her foot fiercely and went off to accompany her guest, much to the dismay of Li Shaojie.
Zhu Ming gave him a meaningful look and said as if nothing had happened, “Nida is going to send a batch of important documents to the lawyer’s building, so you accompany her on a trip, and after sending the documents, both of you don’t have to come back.”
With last night’s dream, Li Shaojie knew what was going on and deliberately said, “Isn’t today our busiest day? Many customers are free to see the building in the afternoon.”
Zhu Ming said: “Our customers are mainly commercial buildings, today is not so busy, next week after moving to the ground, more residential properties, may even have to work on Sundays. Go ahead! You are really a good fellow who cares about the company, I didn’t hire you wrong.”
Li Shaojie put on his blouse and came to the main entrance to meet Nida, to carry her briefcase, Nitan twisted to avoid it, tightened her pretty face and walked out the door to go. Li Shaojie chased after her, until they walked down the street, the two did not talk to each other for half a sentence.
Li Shaojie was secretly furious in his heart and stopped, saying, “Miss Zhu!”
Nida stopped and looked at him in surprise, a wary look in her eyes.
Li Shaojie sighed and said : “I know you don’t want to go with me, so let’s do it this way! I’ll send the documents to you, Ms. Zhu go to meet her boyfriend earlier!”
Nida said in dismay, “He’s not off duty yet. Hmph! Anna must have told you about me. You’re an honest man, so be careful with her! She’s got a very shady life.”
Li Shaojie heart big not taste, reached out to take her briefcase, smiled and said: “I’m not trying to pursue her, how she lives and I do not have half a relationship. You stroll around the department store! If I were your boyfriend, I would have bought you a pair of earrings with stars on them, which would have made your face more eye-catching.”
Nida said with slight annoyance: “He has never had this kind of heart for others.” After a pause, said: “I am also bored, and you to the lawyer’s building delivery.”
Li Shaojie at this time just want to be alone to stroll alone, recalling the past that week within the marvelous incomparable things happened, shook his head refused: “Never underestimate their own attraction to men, I’d rather go alone well.”
After a dashing smile, he left.
Nida looked at his upright back, and a fascinated look flashed in her eyes. This was the first time she had encountered such a man.
That evening, he went to his big sister’s place for dinner as usual. His two nephews greeted him cheerfully and talked to him incessantly.
The eldest sister looked at him in amazement and said: “Shaojie! You seem to be a different person, I have never seen you look so bright as you do now.”
Li Shaojie smiled : “I changed my fate.”
How could the eldest sister think of anything else, comfortingly said: “That’s good.” Throwing a weekly entertainment magazine onto his lap, she said: “Seeing you like this, I dared to let you read it. Turn to the folded page, huh! Greedy and vain woman, I see how she will end up in the future!”
Li Shaojie’s heart jumped dramatically and flipped to that page. The photo of the sexy Qiu Yi holding Wei Bo’s arm was clearly visible. Next to the photo was the caption, “Tycoon Wei brought the lead actress of his next third-grade movie to appear at the premiere”.
Li Shaojie was so dizzy that he didn’t even know what his big sister had said.
He drank a lot that night, fell into bed and slept until morning, woke up with a splitting headache, and certainly couldn’t go to the stable that day.
The next night he had a terrible dream, dreaming that when he left the house in the morning, he was intercepted by two underground money changers to collect the next installment of debt. Then he went to a casino in Macau and lost everything.
Woke up in a cold sweat.
He knew this was not a nightmare, but something that would happen today.
Wei Bo this traitor lied to him, and did not follow the contract for him to pay the debt, if autumn Yi also know this matter, is to conspire to cheat him. Hate myself at that time actually did not suspect each other’s words.
He stayed for half an hour after making a call to Toshikazu before leaving for work.
When he reached the elevator, two big men swarmed up from the corner of the stairs and held him hostage, one on the right and the other on the right.
Li Shaojie was prepared for this and sneered, “Is it due?”
The two were greatly dismayed, Li Shaojie should have thought that Wei Bo paid off the debt on his behalf ah!
One of them threw a hanging fist from the side to Li Shaojie’s left waist and eye, which was hard and spicy. Li Shaojie was a sportsman in secondary school, he had a lot of experience in fighting, not to mention that he had experienced the same scene in his dream, the other party moved forward, he retreated fiercely, just as the other person met him from the right side, the original intention was to teach him not to be able to move, but the person who threw the punch could not keep his hands off, and a punch blasted at his abdomen, which hurt him so much that he bent down.
The man who hit the wrong person was so furious that he was about to do it again, when the elevator door opened and Xie Junhe arrived with his brother, who is a policeman, to save the day.
In the fast-food restaurant, Xie Junhe said to his brother Xie Juncheng: “Such a barbaric, and hit people, and loan sharks are illegal, why can not pull them back to the police station?”
Xie Jun Cheng sighed: “On the surface they are doing all legitimate business, even the big and small banks encountered bad debts have invited them to go out, that they beat people, at most, can only be regarded as fighting with each other! Big brother! Although you are two years older than me, social experience is not as good as me, I have a lot of colleagues, after borrowing the high interest rate is not at the mercy of others. Jie still thinks of paying back the money soon! Okay! I’m going back to bed.”
After Jun Cheng left, Li Shaojie’s face is still hazy, offended the underground money changers, is not a joke one thing.
Xie Junhe was still cursing Wei Bo for being mean, Li Shaojie gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Have you brought any money?”
Xie Junhe patted the bag and said excitedly, “I’ll immediately go and raise all 50,000 dollars of savings, with money, there’s no need to be afraid of anyone.”
Yes, it is! It’s the only way to live in front of him.
Even though it wasn’t a holiday, the casino was still packed with people.
Xie Junhe and Li Shaojie were huddled at the table where they were betting on the size. Cold sweat broke out on the corners of Li Shaojie’s forehead as he listened to the sound of the lotter urging the guests to place their bets.
Xie Junhe whispered in his ear: “You just bet on the size? Other or easy to win a little more.”
Li Shaojie sighed: “I don’t know anything about gambling, so I can only dream about the only thing I know how to gamble and dare to gamble.”
“Seventeen points! Great!”
Since some people are happy and some are sad.
Li Shaojie hands clutching, although this is a dream has happened, but how to remember which one open big, which one open big, which one open small?
At that moment, there was a flash of red shadow beside his eyes, and a flamboyant woman squeezed in beside the two of them.
Remembering this part of the dream, Li Shaojie drank in Xie Junhe’s ear: “Little!”
Xie Junhe picks up ten thousand dollar chips and puts them in the buy-small column.
Li Shaojie grabbed all the chips in his hand and pushed them all there.
Fifty thousand dollars a bet! The people beside him let out sounds of surprise and looked sideways for it.
The dice rolled in the goblet.
Xie Junhe said in his ear: “Next time you’d better remember how many points, you can lose more ah.”
It’s time for the reveal.
“Jr!”
Xie Junhe and Li Shaojie jumped up in excitement, picked up their chips and retreated.
Xie Junhe was ecstatic, shouting: “I told you we could be rich. Once the lid is opened, I will have four more months of salary.”
Li Shaojie deflated: “There is still a shortfall of 60,000 yuan before I can pay off my debt.”
Xie Jun and a stunned said: “I almost forgot, let’s go back and then bet a, tonight take the opportunity to the bathroom carnival.”
Li Shaojie shook his head and said: “I can’t anymore! Just now too much effort to memorize the dream, now not only a little dizzy, but also vomiting and stuffy feeling. Let’s go back! The money I won will cover a lot of debts.”
Xie Junhe firmly shook his head and said, “No! One day in the hands of those scum, you will not have a good day.” Clenched his teeth, categorically said: “I go back to the game again, bet on whether fate is on our side.”
Li Shaojie tried to pull him along, but a wave of dizziness almost made him unsteady, so he retreated and sat down.
After a time as long as a century, Xie Junhe came to him with his head hanging down, and the result could be known without saying anything.
The heavens and the earth suddenly became uninteresting.
Chapter 4: A Survival of the Desperate
Li Shaojie woke up screaming from his nightmare.
The average person wakes up from a nightmare and is happy to have escaped back to reality. For him, reality was the moment the nightmare really began.
Seven thirty.
Last night was the lowest moment of his and Junhe’s emotions, and the two of them didn’t say half a word on the way back in the flying wing ship. After disembarking, Jun Woong invited him to stay at his home for a while to get out of the storm, but he turned him down. He would have felt even worse for Jun Wo, who had lost all his savings at the gambling tables.
Last night he dreamed that the stock plummeted, angry as crazy Luo Geng just called to scold him, and at the same time and he made a grudge with the underground money bank villain door to seek his bad luck.
What’s the best thing to do?
He jumped up, found Luo Gengcai’s business card, ignored whether he still had not yet woken up at the moment, and dialed a phone to his home.
That was the number Luo Gengcai had specifically put on his business card to ensure that he could be reached when there was a good disk.
After a few turns, Luo Geng only yet to wake up voice impatiently on the other end of the line said: “Jie Zai?
What’s the need to call so early?”
Li Shaojie said in a deep voice: “Cai Bo! Listen to me, as soon as the stock market opens, you immediately release all the stocks in your hand.”
Luo Geng just stunned said: “There is no possible, now rising strong, support force and good, the peripheral stock markets have not fallen, if there is a problem, I will be the first to receive insider information, yesterday I just struck hard, into the multi-handed goods, the afternoon has risen by a few prices, your news is from where to come?”
Li Shaojie urgently said: “I have no news, only my dead ghost old bean reported the dream to me, please believe me.”
Luo Gengcai said angrily: “My dead ghost old beans also reported dreams to teach me to buy horses, but lost me more than a million dollars, go back to sleep! Believe you are idiots. Hmph!”
The phone hung up.
Li Shaojie fumed at the microphone for a while and sighed before putting down the phone, alas! He finally did his best, Luo Geng just no longer have a reason to blame him.
He was afraid to go to the door for fear that someone would be waiting for him outside.
The phone rang successively, and he didn’t even dare to answer it.
Yesterday he went to Macau and did not ask Chu Ming for leave, the other party might have thought that he had resigned from his job, so how could he dare to go back to work today?
He stayed in his chair.
Eleventh hour.
The doorbell rang alarmingly.
Li Shaojie went to the kitchen and fetched a kitchen knife, sticking it in his back at the waistline before he gritted his teeth and opened the door.
Outside the door stood an unfamiliar man in a suit, looking quite civilized, but he knew it was only a disguise, for he had started the nightmare last night.
Li Shaojie with the mood of death without great harm, coldly said: “You want to say that you are a district councilor’s office, come to inquire about public sentiment is it? I am sorry! I will never vote for your honest finance. Tell your three accomplices to come out and pry open the iron door!”
The man’s jaw dropped as he listened, at a loss for words, completely at a loss as to how he should react.
Li Shaojie laughed again and said, “Get lost! My men are coming.”
That person subconsciously looked toward the elevator side, immediately turned pale, called out “scattering water”, from the back staircase side to run, and he came together with the other three people also followed him as birds and beasts dispersed.
This time it was Li Shaojie’s turn to freeze up, was someone really coming?
Footsteps loomed.
Not a moment later, a Tang suit and pants, dark and fat, about fifty years old Luo Geng appeared outside the door, surrounded by four strong desert people who are known to be gangsters at a glance.
Li Shaojie screamed in his heart, trembling voice: “Cai Bo!”
Luo Gengcai changed his usual greedy look, coldly looked toward the back staircase where those people fled, and grunted: “What are they?”
Li Shaojie bowed respectfully and replied, “It’s to chase the number.”
Luo Geng just nodded his head and said, “Well! Open the door first.”
Li Shaojie opened the iron door stiffly.
Luo Gengcai and the other five people crowded in, saw the kitchen knife behind his back, Luo Gengcai laughed: “Want to fight them to the death?”
Li Shaojie blushingly pulled out the kitchen knife and placed it on the table.
Luo Gengcai slipped his eyes around, looked at the messy place, lost his smile and said: “You seem to be clean and tidy, but I can’t imagine that there is such a home that can’t be lived in.”
Four big men laughed, one of them said: “Kit! Uncle Choi appreciates you very much. If you have any difficulties, just say it out, Uncle Cai will be able to help you with a word.”
Luo Gengcai laughed, turned around and said with a cheerful face: “Your old bean is much more spiritual than my old bean, I really want to be a brother with you, then your old bean is my old bean, naturally, you will be able to report your dreams to me in a critical situation.”
Li Shaojie shocked: “The stock market really fell?”
Luo Gengcai stunned: “did not watch TV? The stock market opened, foreign capital immediately massive shipments, causing panic chain selling, straight down more than five hundred points, it seems that there will be a few more prices down it! Fortunately, I left quickly, this round of my interest in property speculation is far less than stock speculation, so most of the property by cash, cash for cash thrown to the stock. If it wasn’t for you, my losses this time would have led to a liquidity crunch, alas! That would have been a disaster! The brothers who followed me and risked their lives are also in trouble, they are all with me to speculate in stocks.”
Li Shaojie jumped up with joy, shouting: “You really put all the stocks out?”
Luo Geng just to see he is sincere for their own joy and leap, was touched, nodded: “This morning I woke up to you, bad mood, tone heavy point, the more I think about it after the fact, the more shocked, holding a rather believe it, can not believe it is not in the mood, and immediately put the hands of the stock of all the release.” After a pause, said: “my problem is over, it’s your turn.
What I want is the most frank and honest words, not the slightest bit of concealment, if I find that you have lied to me one word, I will immediately turn my back on you. Good! Speak!”
Li Shaojie finally saw another side of Luo Gengcai as a mob lord, and first asked everyone to sit down before telling the grudge between him and Wei Bo one by one.
Luo Geng just glared at him for a while, ordered to go down: “Give me to check the bottom of the integrity of the financial.” Then leisurely said: “we walk in the jianghu, the first to reason, in the word of reason stood firm on the foot, can and people arguing hand melon, to see who has more strength, but now the younger generation is not this way.” After a time, continued: “Wei Bo this kid I’ve seen a few times, this anti-bone boy has always been in the eyes of no one, I have seen his eyes, but he is now very red, for the time being do not want to have any conflict with him.”
Li Shaojie turned pale and said, “That…”
Luo Geng cut him off and said: “Do not worry, as long as you do not take the initiative to mess with him, I will be able to protect you, teach him not to dare to touch you half a hair. You don’t have to do anything, he has a few international drug dealers behind him, through his movie company for them to launder money. Forget it! What’s the point of having a woman like that?”
The big man who had just hung up the phone returned to Luo Gengcai’s side and leaned down to whisper a few words.
Luo Gengcai said blandly: “Inform them, say I want to come up with my nephew to settle an outstanding debt.”
When Li Shaojie returned to the company in the afternoon, Zhu Ming was directing the movers to move the home documents away, and when he saw him back, he not only did not blame him, but also said happily: “Shaojie is back, ask Nida to take you to see the new company!
The place is quite nice!”
Nida today dressed in casual clothes, jeans and shoes, light and free, and some other more than a young girl’s beauty, charming, with a smile to meet his gaze, hidden concern, as if to say: “You this person miles! Where did you go yesterday? The phone does not dial a back.”
Remembering that she was someone else’s girlfriend, Li Shaojie felt deflated and said to Zhu Ming: “Yesterday…”
Zhu Ming said: “Do not have to explain, just hung up a phone call to the talent uncle, specified by you to manage all of his properties, this time to rent an additional land are not afraid of, and with his backing, who will have to give me a little bit of face Zhu Ming. Go now! By the way, help me move some important documents.”
As if in a dream, Li Shaojie picked up the two heavy packages of documents and went downstairs side by side with Nida.
Nida’s attitude toward him improved greatly, and she asked, “Where were you yesterday?”
Li Shaojie solved the debt and was relaxed, seeing Nida’s fresh and beautiful look, he couldn’t help teasing her: “Didn’t you just ask this question with those big talking eyes? I also answered you with my eyes, only my bull’s eyes do not know how to socialize, so you can not experience it!”
Nida gave a “pfft” of a laugh, gave him a cross-eyed look, and walked joyfully into the entrance of the underground station.
The car is very crowded, two people forced in the narrow space on the side of the door, almost close to each other, Nida’s breath like orchids just in his lower jaw, itchy teach him to flood the soul of the taste of the bone. He silently enjoyed the touching full contact, secretly surprised that this girl did not see the original so plump.
Nida whispered, “You’re usually a good talker, why don’t you say anything now?”
Li Shaojie sprinkled a smile said: “Because I feel very embarrassed, as if taking the opportunity to mooch your oil, take advantage of you.”
Nida said, “It’s just a matter of time, the cars are always so crowded, it’s better for you to take advantage of them than for the others!”
Marco Polo’s first line of business was “Marco Polo”, which was the first line of business in the world, and the second line of business was “Marco Polo”.
Nida stomped her foot and snapped: “Of course not, I will lift the handbag, protect the predecessor. Yeah, how dare you say that.”
Li Shaojie would like to ask: “I am also a wolf, why Miss you do not set up defense measures?” However, remembering that her heart belongs to someone else, the words could not come out of his mouth, but also hard to move away a little.
Nida’s eyes flashed with a strange light and she hung her head.
At this time the ground car to the station, Nida absentmindedly unsteady, delicate body into Li Shaojie’s arms, so that he embraced a full embrace. Nida let out a cry of pleasure, her body was soft, Li Shaojie embraced her outside the car, before generously letting go of his hand. Nida looked at him before leading the way to the elevator leading to the ground floor.
The two walked out of the underground station in silence.
Li Shaojie sighed and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that Ms. Zhu has a boyfriend, I would have dated you.”
Nida whispered, “I have three boyfriends, so shouldn’t you even look at me?”
Li Shaojie was shocked and said, “What?”
Nida said: “If you can’t hear it, forget it, you are the strangest human being, a girl is not married for a day, anyone can chase, come on! Let’s see who can run faster.” Laughing, she ran to the front of the street and entered a bit.
Li Shaojie stayed by the side of the street, today it was his turn to hesitate.
Nida made it clear that he could pursue her, and it was obvious that he was very much in love with her. But he had already made up his mind that he would never marry again in this life, and he would never have too many women in the future, but he was only in the mood to play with them!
The most important thing right now is to take advantage of the fact that I still have the ability to foresee the day ahead to create the dream business with Jun and that they have longed for since they were young, and everything else should be put aside.
But why not hang out with Nida for fun? He didn’t know, he really didn’t!
Anna came out from the head and waved to him, “Shaojie! Come on, there’s a lot of heavy stuff for you to carry!”
Li Shaojie raised his steps.
Suddenly he knew he was embarking on a whole new mile in his life’s path, and the past became pitch black.
What he has now is the predictable tomorrow of this moment before him.
That night, Zhu Ming celebrated his housewarming with a banquet at a nearby restaurant.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo Gengcai came to congratulate, although only stayed for more than ten minutes, but has given enough face to Zhu Ming, so that the connoisseur of him impressed.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo Dongcai were very enthusiastic about Li Shaojie, especially praising him in front of many bosses in the real estate sector, and calling him their nephew, which made his value multiply.
Luo Gengcai left, has been expressed to him the intention to recruit, Li Shaojie one by one politely refused, said that water remembers its source, never forget the grace of Zhu Ming promotion.
There are many beautiful women among the real estate salespersons, who have expressed their affection for him and sent their business cards. Li Shaojie dealt with them one by one in a graceful manner.
Nida and Anna, Jenny and so on put together a game of mahjong, Li Shaojie is happy to surround the group of females, do not have to pay attention to them.
At the feast he pulled the main family table for Juming and sat at a separate table from Nida and the others.
Eventually he got drunk and vaguely felt Jumin and Nida walking him home.
It was a dreamless night.
Chapter 5: A Beautiful Beauty
When he returned to his new company the next morning, Anna, Nida and Jenny were surrounded by the three girls, talking and laughing, in high spirits, and the old days when they didn’t look at each other were gone.
When the three women saw him return, they all smiled and looked him up and down with ambiguous eyes.
Anna laughed, “Are you sober? I wanted you to take me and Jenny home.”
Li Shaojie was surprised: “Do you two live together? Why is it that you never return to the office at the same time?”
Jenny, who rarely spoke to him, said, “Do you care about us? It’s been a whole week and you’ve only said ten words to us. One of them was asking for directions to the restroom, so that one doesn’t count.”
Li Shaojie could not imagine that this long-legged lady’s rhetoric was so harsh, so he raised his hand and surrendered: “The eleventh sentence: where is my seat?”
The women laughed and appreciated his response. Jenny snapped, “We’re not done yet? When to invite us to your like a pigsty kennel to go, you buy us dinner, we give you to clean up the place.”
Li Shaojie’s eyes fell on the smiling Nida, his eyes greedily toured up and down her slender jade legs twice before he feigned anger and said, “How dare you disclose the secrets of the Li family, what should be the crime?”
Nida was amused by him and laughed her head off, not minding his lustful gaze.
Jenny is also in a good mood, angry: “Shaojie has not yet answered Anna’s question.”
Li Shaojie dashingly shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m afraid you guys have to accompany your boyfriends, making me empty.”
The three women made him laugh, and the atmosphere reached an unprecedented harmony.
Nida glared at him and said, “You mention one more word about your boyfriend and we’ll team up and cut your tongue out.”
Li Shaojie pointed at Nida and said, “Are you willing to come?”
Nida blushed and bit her lip, saying, “Ken!”
Li Shaojie said, “Any day will do?”
Nida looked at her and said, “Any day will do.”
Li Shaojie heart screamed bitter, why his own against her, always forget the should not pursue her big principle, can not help and she flirted, her magic is really so difficult to resist?
Anna interjected, “No more excuses?”
Li Shaojie clapped his hands and said: “Good! It’s a deal, this weekend, the three of you come to my house for dinner, and then send out invitations later. But I’m going to invite an old friend to come, and he’ll be responsible for the cooking.”
Zhu Ming just stepped into the company, after chatting a few words said: “Now the company is three times bigger than before, so in addition to the conference room and my room, there are also a large and two small three rooms, the large room Anna and Jenny share a room, Shaojie a room, after hiring a new receptionist, Nida can go to the room to do her accounting work.”
Nida jumped up and down, “I’m finally free!”
Zhu Ming said: “Today there will be new people to come to the interview, Shaojie to help eye pick people. Shaojie you come in for a while, I have a few words to say to you.”
After the two sat down in the boss’s office, which was twice as wide as the previous one, Zhu Ming said with a bit of emotion, “In fact, I love this daughter the most, just that she doesn’t know it!”
Li Shaojie suddenly remembered that he had only spent a week with the four people from Zhu’s Real Estate, and knew nothing about what was going on outside of their company, but had the feeling of being close to them as if they were family. In the future, when there are more colleagues, I don’t know if this cordial atmosphere can still be maintained.
Zhu Ming seems not to want to talk about personal matters, said: “last night a more than ten years of friendship in the real estate industry old friend told me, there are a lot of people fancy you, but also discretionary you to go to their place, are given to the young Jie you firmly refused, I heard very happy. From today onwards, you will be the assistant manager of the company, you can get dividends every month, and if you continue to perform well, I will share some of the shares with you.”
Li Shaojie thanked him joyfully and said awkwardly, “Can I pay for the food at the end of the month first?”
Zhu Ming laughed and got up and said: “No problem, just only two plates, you will share more than 20,000 yuan, I gave you, about the heart of the girl to relieve boredom! Life is happy or painful, all in your hands.”
Li Shaojie thought of, but is something else entirely: tomorrow night with Jun and the casino and then compete with people, this time will bet on the roulette wheel, because the odds are much bigger.
The next day, Li Shaojie returned to the company in high spirits.
Reception is a new lady, ordinary posture, but knows how to dress up, saw him back, smiled and greeted, said: “Mr. Li! Mr. Li, there is a prayer Qing Si in the room waiting for you.” Then whispered: “She is very beautiful!”
Li Shaojie was confident because he had already met her last night.
Nida sitting in the room, concentrate on work, do not know that he stepped into the office, Anna and Jenny can not help but peep to his room to look, obviously also surprised that the praying for the Qing Si’s bright and colorful.
At the sight of Nida, he almost wanted to flirt with her first, immediately restraining the urge.
It was time to find a replacement or he would one day be stuck in the mire of Nida’s love.
That target was Praying Ching Si.
He’d spent time with her in his dreams long ago and guessed that she was the secret mistress of a big, rich businessman, with whom he’d have a one-night fling and never give her the time of day to pester him afterward.
Even though she was sitting quietly in her room, she still stood out with pride. Her well-tailored and stylish suit and knee-length skirt are not something you can just buy on the street, and her skin is comparable to Jun’s dream girl’s, but with her sunglasses on, the contrast between black and white is even more alluring and dazzling.
With a slender waist, long legs, straight spine, and a five-foot-eight-inch-tall moving, driven body, no man would regret spending money on her. The short hair not only emphasized her Greek goddess-like, marble-like silhouette, but also gave her a deep sense of period beauty.
Unfortunately, she was cold and had a refusing demeanor.
Li Shaojie sensed that it was just a disguise she was using to protect herself, and that this was not the first time he had known her, though he had to pretend it was.
In real life she is even more beautiful than in her dreams.
He pushed his way inside, called morning with a smile, and, after sitting down in his seat, preceded him by saying, “Give me a minute.”
He dialed Toshikazu’s number and said, “The ship at seven o’clock tonight. I have it, got it?”
After hanging up the line, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I’m tired of Ms. Prayer waiting for a long time.”
Praying for Qing Si coldly said: “It is me who arrived early, I was introduced to you by Mrs. Ding, she said that you have their property in your hands, I hope to find a residence with a full sea view, the most important thing is that the security is good, and the price is forty million dollars or so, more points have no problem.”
Mrs. Ding is the wife of Luo Gengcai Ding Guicai, that Shanghai fat lady.
Li Shaojie nodded his head and said : “Also secluded, more green scenery, preferably a new building, yes?”
Praying for Qing Si’s cold face revealed a surprised color, staring at him through the sunglasses. Why does this good-looking man seem to be able to see through her heart?
Li Shaojie had a plan, stood up, walked over to pull the chair for her and said: “Let me take you to a beautiful place, where there are flowers and birds, and close to the beach, it is a paradise to escape from the world.”
Praying for Qing Si stood up and looked at Li Shaojie, saying, “What is that place?”
Li Shaojie said : “Saigon! Let me go borrow the boss’s car.”
Pray for the Qing Si can no longer hold back the surprise in her heart, Saigon is her favorite place, why they have not yet said it, the man already seems to know as if? Lightly said: “No need! I have a car.”
The blue Ferrari sped down the highway around the mountains, and she drove fast and hard.
“Why don’t you say something?”
Li Shaojie heart funny, she and Nida the same, you tease her to talk, but ignore; do not say? She will come to tease you, that kind of refusal to welcome, really teach people heart, learn her tone of voice like the world no longer should care about things like faintly said: “Why should I have to talk?”
Praying Ching Si gave him a startled look, her eyes returned to the front, and she kindly said, “Your trade makes me think you can talk, don’t you want to make this business of mine?” Her tone was always a little cynical.
Li Shaojie had prepared the answer, that is the dream she to him had said, calmly said: “Miss pray just want to buy the house, not to buy talk.”
It’s a veritable case of doing unto others what they have done unto you.
A strange look swept over Praying Chance’s face, and he did not speak again.
Li Shaojie stepped to the floor-to-ceiling glass front, looking toward the picturesque water and mountains outside the terrace, secretly thinking that one day I also have a house like this, that would be good.
Praying for Qing Si to come to his side, looking out, her beautiful eyes flashed with different colors.
Li Shaojie had known that she would like this two-story detached townhouse, because last night in the dream they looked at more than ten properties before picking this one, and the last one in that dream was the first one this morning.
He calmly said, “Saigon is a place of heavy humidity, but it is also this intensely humid climate that makes her so beautiful and splendid.”
Prayer Qing Si couldn’t hold back the surprise in her heart and said, “Your thoughts are very close to mine.”
Li Shaojie knew that she finally aroused her curiosity and interest in himself, secretly laughed not “close”, but “the same”, said: “This house himself said the most beautiful words to you, can sign the temporary sales contract? Forty-one million dollars.”
Prayer Qing Si hung her head and unexpectedly said, “No! I have to think about it.”
Li Shaojie was stunned at the scene.
He did change his fate, but this time it was from a deal that was supposed to be a success to a failure.
This change was by no means welcome to him.
Pray for Qing Si like winning back a battle like a smile: “What other properties?”
Li Shaojie replied, her smile was indeed tantalizing, as if the sunlight had broken through the thick black clouds to spill onto him.
Li Shaojie knows that it is also in vain, she obviously happy with this house, preferring to make words against her heart.
Did… God! Did she want to spend more time with me? Then I’m already on the road to success? I’d be happy to lose ten years of my life if I could be friends with such a beautiful woman.
Praying for the Qing Si wrinkled up the showy extremely delicate eyebrow, took off the sunglasses, generously revealed that like the two fountains of clear as if not see the bottom of the pool of bright eyes, said: “What are you thinking about something?” The previous indifference like ice meets the bright sun like dissolving down.
Li Shaojie a touch of inspiration said: “other properties and this is far from it, not if we eat lunch first, if you still decide not to this disk, we will look at other good?”
Praying Qing Si gave him a deep look and said, “You’re a very strange person, if you think I’ll change my mind, just try it!” He turned around and left.
Looking at her shapely back, Li Shaojie heart lost laughter, you Miss Prayer’s mind I still do not know?
Praying for Qing Si’s pair of delicate hands inserted into the two small pockets of her blouse, pulling the dress straight, making her towering breasts stand out and moving. She gazed intently out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the vast expanse of green fields and clear skies, the mountains and water, and the distinctive residential buildings that dotted them.
It was so good and proud that it tickled the heart.
Li Shaojie mooshed the cup with one hand and softly said, “More drinks?”
Praying for Qing Si shook her head without slanting her eyes, her cherry lips lightly opened and said, “Is there any smoke?”
Li Shaojie reached out and beckoned the waitress, asking for a pack of menthol cigarettes after asking for her brand.
At this time there are only three tables of guests in the large restaurant, very quiet, very peaceful, teach people to be lazy and do not want to do anything.
Li Shaojie unwrapped the cigarette case, drew one to hand it to her, and struck a match for her.
Prayer Qing Si gently caught his hand, bent his head and burned the smoke in the mouth of the sandalwood, and then a shot to show thanks, before sitting straight body, spit out a mouthful of smoke, that look a little loose flavor, see Li Shaojie straight stay eyes.
After lunch, they sat at a table by the glass window for more than two hours, and she didn’t show the slightest inclination to leave, nor did she clamor to see another property.
Prayer Qing Si turned her pretty face away and gave him a cross look, as if she was blaming him for staring at her like that.
Li Shaojie electric shock like the whole heart and soul trembling up, secretly called great, said: “Do not blame me, you smoke posture is beautiful, so that I want to turn my eyes elsewhere can not do.”
The corner of Prayer Qing Si’s mouth floated out a trace of light and easy smile, said: “Are you asking your girlfriend to go to Macau tonight?”
Lee Shaojie remembered the password-like call to Jun and said, “No! That’s my best friend, hey! I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”
Puffing, she laughed: “I don’t have a boyfriend either.”
Li Shaojie lost his smile and said: “That to find a stupid ghost to or will believe, people will never believe this sentence.”
Praying for Qing Si to look at him, she said, “This is also what I’m going to say to you, ghosts will believe you.”
Unexpectedly her rhetoric is so powerful, Li Shaojie spread his hands and said: “I just got divorced!”
Praying for Qing Si calmly said, “I also just got divorced, that’s why I’m looking for a house.”
Li Shaojie scalp numb, she is not someone’s mistress? Dreams of her in the decision to buy a building before, had quietly made a phone call, the look is like to a man pampered to ask for money, they turned out to catch the wrong use of God.
Should we back off immediately?
Praying for Qing Si to turn her pretty face, her bright eyes looked deeply at him and slowly said, “Why are you suddenly dumbfounded?”
Li Shaojie said: “I was thinking that there is a man in this world who can let you go! That must be an abnormal person.”
Praying for the Qing Si to his more and more frivolous words seem to be indifferent, also did not express unhappy, gently asked: “intend to get married again?”
Li Shaojie frankly shook his head and said : “Isn’t once enough? I will never get married again.” Thinking of Qiuyi on the screen, undressing, make all kinds of unbearable action, his heart twisted pain, almost like a wolf to the sky long hiss.
Pray for the Qing Si sighed lightly, said: “Why do you and I think so close? I also decided not to get married, specializing in my law firm.”
Li Shaojie was stunned: “You’re a lawyer?”
Praying for Qing Si was stunned and said: “What’s so strange! Women can not be lawyers?”
Li Shaojie surged with a feeling of self-shame and loss, even though there is no threat of marriage with her, but she is both capable and rich, how can I be qualified to pursue her? He smiled bitterly and said, “I surrender, if you want to see other properties, I will certainly accompany.”
Pray Ching Si shook his head and said : “No! I want to sit here to see the dusk of Saigon, at most I send you to the pier, I do not know how many years have not tried this kind of idleness with nothing to do, feel very enjoyable.”
Li Shaojie was stunned: “Aren’t you going to buy a building?”
Praying for the Qing Si urged to laugh: “Early to buy, is this morning that one.”
Li Shaojie lost his voice: “Why did you say that you are not satisfied again?”
Pray for Qing Si light smile: “I am deliberately angry with you, but it is you who first ignited the fire, really can not resist your kind of full of confidence, determined that people will love that house hateful look.”
Li Shaojie was speechless.
Pray for the Qing Si dropped his head, emphasized the swan-like noble neck that beautiful lines, whispered: “I do not know whether the influence of the profession, I seldom confide in people’s heart, to anyone with a guarded heart, but by the first time this morning when I saw you, you gave me a kind of friendly and familiar feeling, unconsciously said should never be confided in a stranger words. “
Li Shaojie heart a burst of excitement, would like to reach over and grab her hand, but hard to not have the courage, the beauty of the cultivation temperament appearance, are not Qiuyi can be compared, she should not belong to their own, and should not even belong to anyone.
Praying for the Qing Si attitude towards him much warmer, said: “Why do not speak, and again make your daydream?”
Li Shaojie was dumbfounded and said, “Daydreaming?”
Pray for Qing Si said: “our profession so that we are accustomed to observing others, you have a very special eyes, which is full of vision and dreams, do not speak like into another world, and the world in front of the absolutely not the slightest relationship.” After a pause to continue: “other men and I together, always mouth to try to show, only you are with the heart to feel more than with the mouth to say out, that makes me feel a great attraction.”
Li Shaojie sighed: “If you’re so frank, then it’s better if I’m frank too, can I date you?”
Puffing and laughing, she said, “Now you’ve become a normal man. Okay, I’ll meet Mrs. Ting at my law firm tomorrow at 11:30 to do the sale procedure! Tomorrow at eleven thirty I will ask Mrs. Ding to my lawyer’s office to do the purchase and sale formalities, you the intermediary must also appear, then you treat me to lunch well, today by me to host.”
Li Shaojie heart called: “God! Such a beautiful woman even on my favor, I really lucky.” I don’t know how, the heart of the feeling of sorry Nida, but Nida early boyfriends group, since I have not even touched her fingertips.
It was better not to think about Nida, the beautiful woman in front of her, letting go would be a lifelong regret.
Chapter 6: The First Glimmer of Light
What they witnessed this time was a roulette wheel.
Li Shaojie was blessed with a heart of gold, and with the memory of his dream, he went down to several cities in a row, causing the whole audience to look at him with astonishment and envy.
The two came and went like a whirlwind and hurried back to Hong Kong with a huge cash check of more than four million dollars.
In the boat, Xie Junhe was so excited that he was fidgeting, and suddenly said: “Tomorrow morning I will come to you, and open a joint account together. You know what? This week, I have been paying attention to financial newspapers and magazines every day, and will soon be able to submit a plan to ensure that you will be impressed.”
Li Shaojie said : “Early, I don’t want to be late.”
Xie Junhe was stunned: “Do you still want to return to work? I am ready to make up a month’s salary of the company, immediately resigned.”
Li Shaojie said: “I do not object to your resignation, but I still want to learn more experience in real estate, the previous failure I am always unconvinced, and four million for us, although astronomical figures, but business is a bottomless pit.”
Xie Jun and seriously said: “If you do not have a penny, to earn four million, is harder than heaven; but if you have four million in hand, another four million is a breeze. Hey, I’m not sure if you’re going to be able to do that! What’s more, with you being the Superman of time and space, if you bet on him for a few more games, won’t the money problem be solved?”
Li Shaojie said: “I have carefully thought about this issue, gambling money is like a drug, easy money is not bring happiness. We brothers with this four million to break into the world, get out of the results are meaningful, success or failure is not important, the most important thing is the bitterness and happiness and blood and sweat, that makes us feel the value of existence and fun.”
Xie Jun and dead heart said: “as long as you have this kind of idea, never think you can dream of the number of the roulette wheel.” Eyes flashed amazed color, bowed respectfully said: “young Jie you return to and Qiuyi married before the state, and even more superior, want to think of years ago to fall under the skirt of Qiuyi’s subject without a hundred, there are dozens of, and also her eyes are too high, but to give you such a poor boy alone into the winners, you can know how you are superb. I began to worship you again.”
Li Shaojie dumbfounded, remembered something, said: “this weekend do not ask someone, to my home to do the chef, I asked the company three beautiful female coworkers to go home.”
Xie Junhe frowned: “Do you see anyone in that home of yours?”
Li Shaojie laughed: “Don’t worry! They just can’t see eye to eye, only to my home to set things right, understand? This is called chaos has the benefit of chaos.”
Xie Junhe sighed: “No matter how messy my home is, no pretty girl will care about me.”
Li Shaojie said: “confidence is cultivated, you immediately go to buy a car tomorrow, do a few sets of clothes out of the scene, and then buy a layer of buildings, package your life is very different.”
Xie Junhe said, “What about you?”
Li Shaojie said: “We can live together for a while, do as I say! Don’t forget you’re the owner of Lee Hsieh Enterprises, let me play a good disk for you!”
Xie Junhe was so excited that he ran to buy two cans of beer and came back, after raising the cans and wishing each other luck, he said, “Have you read the entertainment weekly lately?”
Li Shaojie’s heart sank as he whispered, “How is she?”
She meant Qiuyi, of course.
Xie Junhe said: “The wind is very strong, she is indeed very beautiful, the photos taken are sexy and charming, don’t worry! I decided not to go to see her play.” The face now appeared to have made up his mind.
Li Shaojie lost his voice: “Is that a difficult thing for you?”
Xie Junhe’s old face flushed red, awkwardly said: “Don’t forget that she is also the object of my crush.”
Li Shaojie changed the topic and said: “And to that fast food restaurant?”
Xie Junhe shook his head, disheveled: “He seldom appears there anymore, the day before yesterday I ran into an expensive caravan to pick her up from work, all because you guessed correctly, hand fast and hand slow.”
Li Shaojie patted his shoulder comfortingly, and his thoughts turned to Qiuyi with mixed feelings.
He knew that he could not forget her in his life, he Li Shaojie must show some color to the woman who abandoned him to see.
That night he almost an all-nighter did not close his eyes, near dawn only slept for a while, dreaming of praying for the Qing Si to his attitude to a one hundred and eighty degrees like a change in the sky and the north and south of the earth, become indifferent and maintain the original kind of insurmountable distance, reluctantly with him to the vicinity of a hotel room, only called for a cup of cold drinks, drink it off on the pretext of going away, so that he was not interesting to the extreme point, if the hand has a gun, maybe will be the face of the ruthless woman shot dead on the spot! If he had a gun in his hand, he probably would have shot this unfeeling woman on the spot.
He could no longer tolerate women insulting him, either in dreams or in reality.
He didn’t want to, and wouldn’t forgive Prayer Ching Si.
After opening an account with Xie Junhe, he returned to the office. The office was bustling with the newly hired salespersons, and Jenny and Anna appeared as big sisters, instructing the new staff.
Just Mr. and Mrs. Luo Gengcai introduced more than ten guests, busy crowd.
Nearly ten-thirty, Nida timidly came to him and whispered, “I’m sorry! I can’t come to your house Saturday night.”
Li Shaojie, on the contrary, a burst of relief, casually asked: “You have no intention to say the reason?”
Nida hung her head and said in a gnat-like volume, “I forgot it was his birthday and couldn’t not be there for him.”
“He” naturally means her boyfriend.
Jealousy welled up in Li Shaojie’s heart, Qiuyi hadn’t let him have enough? Now there was another Nida.
Nida looked at him in fear and said, “I wanted to make a good excuse to lie to you, but I couldn’t even say it in the end.”
Li Shaojie kindly said: “No wonder your father especially loves you, because you are honest enough.”
Nida begged, “Can you postpone the date for a week?”
Li Shaojie remembered Junhe and shook his head, “No.” Taking his top, he walked towards the door of his room.
Nida stood up and said sharply, “Are you angry?”
Li Shaojie turned around and smiled: “If I say I’m not angry, should you be happy or unhappy?”
Nida blushed and said, “How about this! Let you point to a day, I go to your home to cook for you to eat.”
Li Shaojie heart a burst of annoyance, this pretty girl playing exactly what idea, want to become one of her many boyfriends? Before Qiuyi left herself, she also had many boyfriends, that was the most humiliating and dark days of her life. She sighed and said: “I’m really flattered, but no need, more time to accompany your boyfriends!” Ignoring her, he pushed the door open and left.
Stepping out onto the street, my mind was at a loss.
With a bit of time to spare, he settled back and headed for the docks, pondering the dreamlike days of the past.
What exactly is fate? Is it still destiny when he experiences exactly what destiny is and can still change it?
He took a boat across the sea, and the sea breeze blew in his face, revitalizing him. The most important thing in front of him was still his career, and he didn’t want to think about anything else.
Praying for the Qing Si’s Prayer’s Lawyer Building is extremely large, occupying a whole layer of a famous commercial building in the Central District, inside the size of the lawyers have more than twenty people, the staff is more calculated in hundreds, see Li Shaojie backed up a breath of cool air, there is a focus in the dream, and all the other things are a piece of paste.
Not to mention the pursuit of the superwoman who owns this lawyer’s profession, he is not even qualified to be friends with her.
He was invited into the luxurious parlor, and Mrs. Ding, known as Mrs. Talent, came one step earlier and pulled him in to talk non-stop, hinting that she had more than ten contracted women, half of whom were actresses, and that he could just ask which one he wanted to get to know.
Li Shaojie was grateful to his couple and bowed to cope with her.
Pray for the Qing Si at this time and another lawyer pushed the door in, after a few words of small talk, began to do formalities to sign the contract.
Li Shaojie see her fruit as in the dream as cold attitude towards him, the heart is funny, deliberately bashful, show a little male nature to let this proud as a goddess of beauty to see.
After signing the contract, Saiba hurriedly rushed to rub mahjong, and in the end, only Praying Qing Si and Li Shaojie were left, and the atmosphere was stiff and cold.
Praying for Qing Si coldly said: “I’m sorry! I forgot a bit of business, only can accompany you to sit for a while.”
Li Shaojie smiled and stood up, stretched his waist and said: “No need! We each have our own way to go, this end is not quite beautiful? All future events will eventually become memories of the past, we have a beautiful memory, not satisfied?”
Words and pushed the door to go, leaving Prayer Qing Si alone to stay in the chair.
As he walked out of the office, an agonizing pleasure welled up in his heart. Since fate was like this, why not deal with it in the most liberal manner, and he didn’t want to take the trouble to change it.
That confession just now was what he found after rummaging through more than a dozen books, and if it wasn’t wonderful enough, then there was something wrong with his vision and taste, and it definitely had nothing to do with diligently rummaging through books or not.
In the next few days, Nida was very angry with him and ignored him, so he had to concentrate on his work and made a few big deals. Zhu Ming no longer regarded him as a subordinate, but as a business partner. He discussed everything with him and studied marketing strategies together, and got along very well.
Tse Chun Wo resigned, looking around for friends to ask for advice and collect information, a few lunches were eaten in the Trade Development Council’s restaurant, to see Tse Chun Wo’s spirit of vigor, drenched Li Shaojie, so that he felt the vitality of the life of the burgeoning.
The weekend is finally upon us.
Nida left before lunch, and he, Anna and Jenny stayed at the office to work until 4:30, when Junhe drove his newly purchased Toyota and parked it outside the office with great vigor. Lee Shaojie felt honored and led Anna and Jenny to welcome them.
Xie Jun and in accordance with the instructions of men’s fashion magazines, dressed up a new look, even Li Shaojie this many years old friend also felt for the first time that this kid is quite a bit of rich. When he saw Jenny exposed in the short skirt under the pair of long legs, pupils immediately to multiply the enlargement, bursting out of a rare light, pulled open the door of the back seat, said: “In addition to the two beautiful women, whether there is another?”
Anna and Jenny gave him a flowery giggle, and the atmosphere was light and happy, which was a good start.
Li Shaojie pushed Jenny and said, “Jenny sits in the front, but for safety’s sake, the driver is not allowed to peek at the passenger’s legs.”
Jenny had always been very proud of her long legs, and sniffing appreciatively and joyfully sat in the front while Li Shaojie and Anna got into the back seat.
The car drove out.
Li Shaojie introduced the two women to Jun He and said, “This is my number one detractor and the premier financial expert and advisor.”
The two women laughed at his exaggerated words.
Anna sniffed twice with her little nose and called out, “This is the car that just got bought!”
Xie Junhe smiled and nodded his head, his childish face burning with excitement, the kid even changed his hairstyle, so it was obvious that he was fully prepared for this romantic weekend.
Li Shaojie deliberately said: “Supply or first-hand buy?”
Xie Jun and his partner for many years, which still do not know the intention, pretending to be unintentional said: “one hand to buy, for too much trouble.”
The two women immediately bracketed their eyes.
Anna asked, “Where does Mr. Shea work?”
Xie Junhe said: “Just quit his job, preparing to set up his own company.”
Jenny and Anna yelled in unison and became more affectionate towards Xie Junhe.
This kid was not bad-looking, just because of the character of the problem, so he seems to have little charm, and now have money in hand, the future is bright, and immediately transformed into a different person.
Li Shaojie took the opportunity to say: “Jenny to find a residential property for Jun and it! After earning so much money should also be replaced by a new building, his target is about four million dollars or so! Is that right?”
Xie Junhe hurriedly answered yes.
Nothing in this world is more convincing than facts, and Jenny readily agreed, asking seemingly casually, “Does Mr. Xie want to be the groom? Otherwise, why does everything have to be new?”
Xie Junhe is also a smart person, heard the song and knew the meaning, busy denied: “No. I do not have a girlfriend! I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”
Such a poor answer, thanks to this kid to say out, Li Shaojie busy remedy: “my old friend all good, is the corner of the eye was born high, fortunately, Jenny also grows very high.”
Jenny glared at Li Shaojie with her head turned away, but her expression was one of joy.
Anna pouted, “It’s not fair! Why did all the business go to Jenny?” She has always been proud of her appearance than Jenny, since she is not convinced.
Xie Jun and blessed to the heart, said: “Then trouble Anna to find me an office unit, two thousand feet should be enough.”
Anna turned her anger into joy, half of her body to Li Shaojie body, intimate voice: “So even your friends are also so capable, why do not you cooperate in business?”
This angle to look toward Anna, just from the low neckline can be seen Anna’s deep cleavage and full breasts with breathing rhythmically undulating, heart a swing, vaguely responded: “There is a chance.”
Anna said: “That boss can be miserable, all thanks to you, he only obtained the support of the salty talent, in the industry to raise eyebrows, this time he even the remaining two floors are pressed out, if the fall will not be able to get up again.”
Li Shaojie secretly thought that this was the case, busy saying: “Don’t worry! I, Li Shaojie, will never forget my roots.”
At this time, the car turned into a parking lot near Li Shaojie’s building, Jenny’s small mouth came to Xie Junhe’s ear, I do not know what other people can not hear the words.
Li Shaojie mood is very good, probe hand over to hold Anna’s shoulders, in her face incense a mouthful of said: “You often say that Cai Bo salty wet, he touched you what place?”
Anna to him to get confused, delicate and infinite said: “You are a man, you say will touch people what place?”
