Chapter 25 Offend Zhang? (2/2)

”After all, if you produce art in exchange for money, you are already insulting this art. If you aren't focused on it, it completely destroys the tattoo.”

I was very eager to go to school, so I knew the inner struggle of those children who were eager to read book but weren’t reading. I also understood what kind of despair and envy those poor children who could not read books because of their economic conditions would experience.

So, Mimi subsidized so many poor children. As long as she did not do a wicked thing, I would not scold her, nor look down on her. For her, I had only sincere respect.

While Mimi was telling me about her student-funded fun, the door suddenly opened.

Brother Zhang came in.

When he came in, he was startled, ”Oh shit, only such a short time passed, and you even dressed? Brother, are you not very strong?”

”No, no, I was just talking to Mimi,” I smiled at him.

Mr. Zhang said, ”OK, OK. My brother, your routines are very advanced. Do you want to have a heart-to-heart before sex?”

I did not know how to tell him, so I smiled, changed topic, and asked, ”What are you doing?”

”Well…” He patted his legs and said shyly: ”Things like this, huh?”

”You say.” I raised my hand to him.

He said that recently, his luck was not good, he often lost money.

In fact, he did not care about the loss of money. He only lost a little, anyway. After finishing a round, he would lose almost two thousand... It was pocket money for him.

But he cared about his face.

Every time he lost money, even if he was laughed at by his old friends, it was no fun.

”Oh, Brother Zhang, you are...” I knew what he meant.

He said, ”You are a clever boy. Mimi said your Yin and Yang Tattoo was really useful. Can you give me a Yin and Yang Tattoo for winning money...? Do you have this?”

”Yes. I just tattooed one in the morning.” I said to him.

Zhang hurriedly said, ”All right. You do your things first. When you finish it, I'll go to your tattoo shop. After the party, I have to go to a gambling party. Damn it. Tonight, I'm not going to win.”

I told him not to wait; we could go now.

He said I had to do it.

I slapped my chest and said, ”My brother, you invited me to this party, which means you gave me face. How can I delay your business? Isn't that taking your face?”

”Good enough.” Zhang stuck out a big thumb: “Let's go. If you ever get in trouble, tell me. As long as you have money, if you want to break someone’s legs, give me a phone call.”

He was really a good person. What he just said was not necessarily true, but he still said it, which meant he put me as a figure.

I took him to the tattoo room. Mimi went back to work.

At the tattoo room, I tattooed two Yin and Yang fishes on his hands.

Yin and Yang have a good fortune.

When I finished, he was very satisfied and wanted to give me money.

I waved my hand to say no. I gave him the tattoo, but I would rather not take money. I’ll take friendship instead of money.

He was unwilling. He said today was his birthday, and if I worked for free, his face could not lift up.

He took two stacks of one hundred Yuan notes from his briefcase and put them on the table. He said, ”Brother, don't say anything. I brought one hundred thousand Yuan to play cards in the evening, so I’ll give you twenty thousand Yuan. If I win money... there will be red envelopes tomorrow.”

”Righteousness.” I said to him.

He laughed: “Damn it, go out to live. This is the first time someone said ‘righteousness’ to men. If I have no money, I can make it. My brother, you are busy. I'm going to call the old guys, try my luck. Ha.”

After that, he went out the door.

He went away, but I had a whisper in the heart, constantly complaining about my work being too hasty.

Why? Because if he made money with the Yin and Yang fish, he will be happy. I’ll get a twenty thousand Yuan tattoo fee, so I’ll also be happy.

But what if he doesn't make money? He is such a face-saving person, he had to show off when he went to the gambling party. If he didn’t win, wouldn’t he be angry?

He’ll just be angry. The problem is that the tattoo on his hand can't go away.

The tattoo will have made him lose face, so the more he sees the tattoo, the angrier he’ll get, and he’ll surely do something to me.

I was a little annoyed at my imprudence. At the same time, I also prayed in the heart that the Yin and Yang fish will be useful. Let Niu Xiaoer and brother Zhan win more money, please.
