Chapter 120 - Business (2/2)
“Hum! You always look like this!” She picks up a little finger and pointing at me, saying coldly, “Do you think you are still the chief manager of the nightclub? Do you think you can still call a dozen of brothers to come with a single call? Aren’t you very arrogant? Hum! You made me couldn’t stay at that time. All my girls have been robbed. I dare not even fart but to go away! Time has changed now, brother little 5!”
When things come to here so far, I’m not worrying now, just leaning back on the sofa and say to her: “What do you really want? Let’s be clear. Outside the door, there are dozens of your people are waiting for bury me alive? Anyway, I can see that here is in the wild. Dig a pit outside and bury a man. No one will aware!”
“Are you afraid of death?!” She is laughing disdainfully, then saying, “I thought you are really not afraid of everything!”
“Anyone is afraid of death.” I shrug my shoulders and say, “As for you, you won’t invite me here in the midnight to tell me all these nonsenses!”
She’s laughing, and the cruelty on her face has been gathered. She is trying to show some charm, pointing to Darra beside me: “Is this little girl your sister? Are you running so far for protecting her? I say you are really growing up more and more back! In fact, you are unlucky to meet me. Well, I thought you would run away after seeing me in the daytime. But I didn’t expect you are so bold! My men were staring at you secretly, and found that you were dangling around my place like nothing happened.”
“I bet with my life.” I’m laughing lazily and say, “They’ve scraped the floor three feet to find me outside. If I went out to hang around the street now, maybe I might be stabbed to death in less than half a day. It’s safer here!”
Then I just turn up my legs and staring at her: “OK, Phoenix! After all, we used to work together before and we know each other. So, don’t play games. Just tell me straight that you call me here at night, what would you like to talk about? You know, don’t expect to frighten me. I’m born bold!”
She’s laughing, deliberately making a look of all kinds of customs, waving her hand: “OK!” She is saying with the smile, “I know I can’t hide it. Let’s be clear. After seeing you in the daytime, I’ve been checking you for quite some time! No one knows what trouble you’ve caused, but they’re all searching you everywhere. Which god have you messed with? What a big stir!”
I curl my mouth and say nothing.
She is sighing intentionally, making a friendly appearance, going to my side, sitting down next to me and saying, “Let me tell you straight! We’ve known each other for a long time! For the sake of the old times, I let you off the hook, or you may also say I pull you a hand. How do you think?”
“How?” I am smiling.
She’s willing to help me? If so, foxes can pay New Year’s greetings to the chickens. No, not only pay New Year’s greetings, but also to be brothers.
“I know you’re escaping now. I have a way on my hand can send you to the beach, and then take a ship to send you out of the country!”
I change my sitting position a little.
She’s a very smart person who can tell by my expression that I don’t believe her. She is standing up, swaying twice and standing still in front of me, eyes staring at me for a long time before she is gritting her teeth to say, “OK, let’s talk it through today! Little 5, we bear grudges against each other. But that was not a big deal! That was my fault to break the company’s rules. You acted according to the rules. Although I hated you for being ruthless, but think it over, we have nothing personal with each other. You had no reason to protect me that time. I was forced out of that circle. I need to thank you for that now!”
I’m still not talking.
“You are a man I know too well.” She is humming, “You are very fastidious, conscientious, dare to fight, do things in a proper way, and can control the people under you. You are a very suitable for being a boss in the field! Say it clearly, the business here now is to make money without conscience. I don’t know which day the wind will change. I will be planted then! These monies are too hot! I intend to find another business, but I’m a woman. I have no good people under me and no resources. If I try to do other business, I’ll be eaten even without bones in an instant! So, I’m short of a core person, a person who can support me!”
Now it’s my turn to be surprised!
Phoenix wants to recruit me! It’s really surprised me. She is glancing at me and sneering, “Why? Surprise? Or am I not fit to take you in? I tell you that this is not the same as the past!”
This previous nightclub mummy has a bit more vigorous now. Her eyelids are lifting with the sharp spirit!
Then she is looking at me steadily and saying slowly: “I don’t believe anybody else. Although the world is full of people. But if I trust a wrong person, I might be betrayed in any moment. But you are the man I do believe! You have the sense of righteousness and principles in everything you do. Say it well, you’re a bit of a tough talker. Say it bad, you’re a bit foolish! But your principles are good! I’m just short of this kind of person! Today, I take advantage of your difficulties, pull you a hand. As long as I pull you ashore, you must remember my goodness in your heart! Even if you don’t like me inside your heart, you will still repay my kindness and work hard for me. Am I right?”
Looking at this proud woman, although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that she really takes my character very accurately.
