Chen s.h.i.+ asked Tao Yueyue, ”What do you think?”
Tao Yueyue responded, ”This is what the bad guys on TV say. They usually say they'll give you a rich and prosperous life.”
Old Man Lu laughed loudly. ”Child, grandpa is not a bad person. Grandpa is just really rich so many people scheme for my money. I hope that your uncle will come and protect me.”
Chen s.h.i.+ asked, ”What about your son's case?”
”What can I do?” Old Man Lu shook his head. ”He is no longer there. Even if the murderer can be found, he won't return. I just hope that the next victim will not be me!”
Chen s.h.i.+ looked at the food and said, ”French meal, it's really delicious!”
”Think about it. Come work for me.”
”But, people who come to eat French meals all wear suits and gowns. I don't like to wear suits and I'll feel uncomfortable. I don't like being surrounded by servants. I feel a sense of being monitored every day. I also don't like to make calls every day, directing this and directing that. I won't be able to sleep or eat well and there'll be a lot of mental stress. I'd die early.”
Old Lu watched him quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Chen s.h.i.+ continued. ”If I want to eat French meals whenever, I'd have to pay the price and choose a lifestyle that I don't like. I admit that French meals are more delicious than skewers, but I happen to like the life of skewers. What I want is to eat skewers with dignity rather than to eat French with none. Everyone has their own way of living and I am quite satisfied with my current way of living. But, I don't mind being your friend. It's an honor for this little driver to eat with Old Man Lu once in a while. ”
”You motherf.u.c.ker who has really sticky fur on your face and is cheekier than a monkey[1]. You don't plan to work for me, but you want to come to eat French food?”
”Hot pot is fine too!”
Old Man Lu laughed angrily. ”I haven't seen anyone with thicker skin than you. Waiter...”
Old Man Lu called the waiter over and whispered a few words to him. After a while, the waiter gave him a card. Old Man Lu said, ”This is a VIP card for this restaurant. You can bring your child to come and eat often.”
”If you run into any trouble, I can help you.”
Mr. Lu nodded. ”With this one sentence, this meal has not been a waste! But, I have another request. Please don't take me into the bureau again. I am a bunch of old bones now, how can I bear this?!”
”Okay, okay. I need to ask something. To what extent is your private detective investigating?”
”I have asked them to withdraw so as not to obstruct your investigation.”
”You should stay at home honestly for the next two days. We will give you results for the case.”
”Find out who the killer is as soon as possible!”
”Okay, we'll take our leave now.”
When he left with Tao Yueyue in tow, Tao Yueyue asked, ”How rich is that old grandpa?”
Chen s.h.i.+ pointed to the tall building in front of them. ”He can snap his fingers and that building will be his.”
”Then why didn't you agree? Isn't it nice to make some money?”
”Have you studied politics? What is money?”
”Generally, it's the equivalent exchange of goods.”
”Yes, there is no free lunch in this world and the rich are not fools. If he gives me money, I will have to pay the equivalent in labor. I would have to work hard and serve him as he pleases. The wool is still derived from the sheep[2], understand?”
”I see!” Tao Yueyue nodded. ”I hope you get rich soon!”
”Haha, I'll hope to borrow your good words[3].”
”Then, I won't have to do anything hard anymore,” Tao Yueyue said earnestly.
