Chapter 27 (1/2)
Ye Qian chuckled, not revealing much.
“Brother, where are you from?” Wan Chun Hua asked.
“Me? From Shanghai.” Ye Qian replied.
Wann Chun Hua looked at him blankly, then exclaimed in astonishment, “There aren’t many locals who become security guards. The land is worth a lot - it’s a land of golden opportunity. It’s enough so that locals can just rebuild some run-down apartments and collect from monthly rent.”
Ye Qian smiled lightly and said, “There are also people in prosperous places, and I just happen to be among the poor people.” Ye Qian really wanted to say that Shanghai, from time immemorial, was an unstable place. It’s a land of golden opportunity, but underneath this gold was buried a pile of bones. “What about you? Where are you from?” Ye Qian asked him back.
“I’m from An Hui, the same province as the Chairman.” Wan Chun Hua said with a pleased expression, as though China’s Chairman were his own cousin. In China, if a person from the same town became a high official, let alone a Chairman, it naturally made people happy. Not to speak of the att.i.tude of the central authorities, those local official also tried to win favors. They would work hard to develop the Chairman’s hometown so that the Chairman would not lose face.
“Brother, where are you from?” Ye Qian went to the security guard who had not spoken a word. While Ye Qian had never been a soldier, his experiences practically made him equivalent to one. He felt the aura of a soldier from that security guard. He guess that he must be a discharged military man. Soldiers will inevitably have a kind of special feeling. Even if they have never met before, if two people were to encounter each other they would declare they are from this or that unit. In the army there were many such cattle-breaking (powerful) incidents, as if they were old friends that hadn’t seen each other in years. So many soldiers had this type of special disposition, they liked to exaggerate and liked to shared in other people’s experiences, whether it was good or bad. It all felt like it was a glorious thing. Of course, the prerequisite of the bad stories were limited to how bad they were at fighting alongside their paizhang.
“From the Northeast! Fu Jun Sheng” The silent security guard answered. In his his eyes, one could see that life had exerted pressures on him, yet there seemed to be that unswerving determination that belonged only to soldiers. A very rough looking man from the Northeast. That he had such an erudite and scholarly named made hearing it a bit awkward.
TL: Jun Sheng sorta means Birth of Eminence
“This person doesn’t like to talk much, he’s not very relevant, don’t bother with introductions.” Wan Chu Hua said with a laugh.
“Today is my first day. It gives me pleasure to get to know everybody. How about I treat everybody to dinner after work?” Ye Qian said.
“Sure. A free meal is a free meal! I know barbecue place with the best barbecue! They have the best barbecued goat p.e.n.i.s, goat b.a.l.l.s, let’s go eat those.” Wan Chun Hua replied happily.
Ye Qian laughed and said: “Aren’t you afraid that eating that you won't be able to contain yourself if you eat those things?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? If I can’t contain myself I’ll just find a xiaojie. One hundred dollars, cheap. Add 50 and can even finish in her mouth.” Wan Chun Hua said offhandedly.
Ye Qian liked this type of fellow, not the scheming type, the typical straightforward guy. He helplessly laughed then replied: “Looking for stuff like that in the streets, aren’t you afraid of getting sick? Because of these habits, seems like your one month salary won’t be enough.”
“There’s no helping it, what can we do when we don’t have much capability? Girls don’t like us. Without finding a xiaojie how can it be resolved ah.” Wan Chun Hua said a little sadly.
