hell cycle

half year later.

Outside a small two-story western-style building, in a brand-new car, Ah Zheng and Ali were fiddling with. Ali said impatiently, "I'm forced to read, I'm forced to learn something... counting, it's all right now, what's the matter?" Forced to learn to drive..."

Ah Zheng didn't seem to be as impatient as Ali, he groped up and down the newly bought car Ah Cheng with great interest, and said: "I don't want to, you don't have to learn if you don't want to, talk to brother Ah Cheng , you don’t want to learn, there are a lot of people who are willing to learn in your place.”

Ali shut up.

Ali and Ah Zheng have followed Ah Cheng for many years.

When they were two little dolls who didn't understand anything, Ah Cheng used a roasted sweet potato to win them over.

In the beginning, they worked for Ah Cheng for food, but when they grew up, they still followed Ah Cheng for money.

In fact, it shouldn’t be all about money. Human instinct is to survive, especially for orphans like Ali and Ah Zheng. At first, they just wanted to stutter. Later, when they were full, it was like making money. Not a lot, there are some more extravagant things, such as friendship.

After so many years, the bond of "growing up" with Ah Cheng is naturally incomparable to others.

But it is also possible that all of this was fabricated by them to comfort themselves. The reason why they have been following Ah Cheng is just because they are used to it. If they are used to following Ah Cheng, life will get better and better.

From sweet potatoes at the very beginning, Ah Cheng later asked them to sell newspapers, run around the market, resell bulk goods, buy and sell stocks, rent warehouses, and hoard.

Follow Ah Cheng, no, it should be said that it is Brother Ah Cheng, who has meat to eat.

They don't read much, and their brains are stupid. Many people around Ah Cheng are either rich or expensive. They are in the back row, and there are limited things they can do. To die, some people are destitute, some people die miserably on the streets, some people are workers who are absent from work and die from hard work, and some people make rickshaws to sell their strength.

They, because they follow Ah Cheng, have food and meat to eat, and now they can learn to drive, they are unwilling to learn and do things for Ah Cheng, and there are many people who are willing to work for Ah Cheng instead.

Knowing this there is nothing to complain about.

"Crack!" Throwing the account book in his hand on the table, Ah Cheng said, "Who made this account for you?"

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly and said to Ah Cheng: "What?"

Ah Cheng glanced at Xiao Rui, and said, "What? There are so many loopholes, I can see them all, but your father can't see them?"

Xiao Rui felt guilty after being stared at by Ah Cheng, and said, "I'm not so... I didn't expect my father to check the accounts suddenly!" Speaking of this, Xiao Rui said a little angrily and helplessly, "It's not that vixen, I am so fascinated by my old man, sow my ears all day long, otherwise, why would my old man suddenly want to check my account!"

Ever since he helped Xiao Rui and Wu Qiming repair the oil painting worth tens of thousands of pounds in the church, Ah Cheng began to help Xiao Rui clean up the mess.

Xiao Rui's family is in the fabric business. After graduating from high school, Xiao Rui, the eldest son, did not continue to study, but followed his father's advice and went home to inherit the family business. It can be said that it is a relatively wealthy merchant's family, and it is completely incomparable with the Ming family, but... the temple is a little demon, the pool is shallow, there are many villains, and the family business is small.

"Brother Ah Cheng, just help him. You don't know him. He's very stupid. How can he play with his little mother!" Wu Qiming, who collects books, heard the conversation between Ah Cheng and Xiao Rui, and turned his head to interject.

Wu Qiming, the living treasure No. [-] who always fought with Xiao Rui in the past, is living a much more carefree life than Xiao Rui, because he is the youngest son, and the Wu family sells red wine, commonly known as Erdao dealers, or in other words, he does a relatively big job. A good Erdao businessman, his elder brother is now in charge of the family business. As the youngest son, he is now living a much more willful life than Xiao Rui.

Ah Cheng scanned the two people who were playing cards at the table by the window, Cao Xingping and Zhang Xingguo.

Ah Cheng said to Xiao Rui: "Why do you always look for me when something happens? I'm not the only friend around you."

As soon as Cao Xingping saw Ah Cheng looking at him, Xiao Rui's eyes turned around, and he immediately put down the cards in his hand and waved his hands desperately, saying: "Don't look at me, I'm not Brother Ah Cheng, you, I can't help Xiao Rui, brother Ah Cheng, you know, our family runs a textile factory, but my cousin's room is in charge, I... I can't talk to my cousin."

Ah Cheng's eyes turned to Zhang Xingguo, Zhang Xingguo was very calm, he was still looking at the cards in his hand, and said calmly: "My father is just hanging out, and some elders can help me because of my grandfather's face. But it’s very poor, Brother A Cheng, you know it.”

Your father is more than just an idler, Ah Cheng said coldly in his heart.

It was Xiao Rui who got angry, and patted the table and said: "You people, are you enough friends? Brothers for so many years, I've been watching when I'm in trouble, so I don't know how to help!"

Xiao Rui was roaring, and then several other people in the room, Wu Qiming, Cao Xingping, and Zhang Xingguo heard his roar, turned their heads and looked at him like this, the look in their eyes meant, buddy, we want to help, do you think we can help? Can I get on?

Xiao Rui was depressed, and turned his head to look at Ah Cheng helplessly.

Ah Cheng glanced lightly at Xiao Rui's hand on the table, and said, "Who are you taking pictures with?"

Xiao Rui immediately withdrew his hand from the table, then made a cup of coffee for Ah Cheng in a doggy manner, handed it to Ah Cheng respectfully, and said: "Brother Ah Cheng, help me again, this is really It's the last time."

Ah Cheng took the cup of coffee and said, "This is a new American product in my warehouse. The next time you ask someone, remember to bring your own gift to the door. Don't give me my things."

Xiao Rui smiled dog-leggedly and said: "I remember, Brother Acheng, this time it's too late, next time for sure."

Resting his forehead with his hands, Ah Cheng leaned on the chair and tilted his head slightly, looking at Xiao Rui. For some reason, he suddenly felt that this guy's face was somewhat imaginative with that brat in Mingtai. When he thought of Mingtai, he couldn't help but think of Minglou. , and then...quickly moved his thoughts away, and pressed back the turbulent emotions in his heart. It's not the time, it's not the time, Ah Cheng repeatedly said to himself in his heart.

Just when Xiao Rui was a little uneasy by Ah Cheng's long silence, Ah Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed and said, "You have three solutions to your problem right now."

As soon as these words came out, Ah Cheng agreed to help, Xiao Rui immediately burst into laughter, and asked eagerly: "Those three methods?"

Ah Cheng said: "The first method is to find a powerful person to level the account, but this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

When Xiao Rui heard this, he licked his face and looked at A Cheng, and said, "You are the only one I know who is so good at accounting that I can hide it from my father."

Ah Cheng rolled his eyes, and said: "The second way is to find a little boy to seduce your little mother, then take a few photos, give them to your father, and kick your little mother out of your house, but, With your father's personality, it is estimated that you will have another little mother without this little mother."

Hearing this, Xiao Rui couldn't help asking, "The last solution?"

Ah Cheng said: "The last solution, once and for all, is to obediently do a good job in your family's business, so that your father can rest assured, and your little mother has nothing to say, and draws the salary from the bottom of the pot."

Hearing this, Xiao Rui looked bitter, and said, "Ah Cheng, it's not like you don't know that business in cloth villages is hard to do now, textile factories are vying for business, and the impact of foreign cloth is getting bigger and bigger. Even if I want to do a good job To do business, you have to do business well.”

Hearing this, Ah Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you can save a lot of expenses as long as you split up with the dancer you're dealing with now, and use this part of the expenses on your own On the cloth shop, this account must be much better than the current one."

Xiao Rui was about to refute something, but the phone rang, and Ah Cheng answered the phone.

Aunt Gui's voice came from the phone, "Ah Cheng?"

Ah Cheng said, "Mom?"

I don't know what Aunt Gui said on the phone, but after talking for a long time, Xiao Rui vaguely heard something like "Young Master", unconsciously, Xiao Rui curled his lips in disdain.

Ah Cheng listened to Aunt Gui's words very seriously, and finally said: "I see, you tell the elder sister, I...before dinner, I will take Mingtai back."

After finishing speaking, Ah Cheng hung up the phone, then got up and picked up the trench coat on the side, and said to Xiao Rui while putting it on: "I'm going to do something, think about it yourself, tell me which one you choose, of course It's good that you solved the problem yourself without telling me."

After finishing speaking, Ah Cheng went downstairs without looking back.

The place where Xiao Rui and this group of Ah Cheng's friends stayed was a small two-story building, which was rented by Ah Cheng. Although it was not in the prime location of Shanghai Bund, it was quiet and spacious, and when there was nothing to do. This bunch of friends like to get together at Ah Cheng's place - there are no elders watching here, and it doesn't cost money like in some places outside, and there are many fresh and good things that Ah Cheng left behind when he resold foreign goods. Here, at ease and comfortable.

Wu Qiming, who was tired of reading books over there, began to play with the phonograph that Ah Cheng had just bought, and played music, but it was a classical piano piece. Looking at the back of Ah Cheng leading Ah Zheng and Ah Li to push the door out from the upstairs window, he murmured: "I think the best solution once and for all is to marry Ah Cheng home."

At this time, Cao Xingping, who had been concentrating on playing cards, was drinking tea. When he heard this, he choked on a sip of tea, coughed a little and said, "You...cough cough...don't let Ah Cheng hear you...be careful He turned around and peeled your skin...cough cough..."

At this time, Wu Qiming, who was listening to the music with his eyes closed, said intoxicated: "I heard that Ah Cheng's parents are both betas. You want to marry Ah Cheng, hehe, can you agree? Do you want the Xiao family?" Passing on the family line? Seriously, if Brother Ah Cheng is an omega, I want to marry too. If I marry an omega like Brother Ah Cheng, I will have no worries about food and clothing, and neither my father nor elder brother will talk to me anymore."

Xiao Rui was very displeased to hear that Wu Qiming spoke foreign languages. He is a very traditional person, especially his family’s business started to be difficult because of the impact of those foreign cloths, so he was even more disgusted that the people around him spoke foreign languages, saying: "What beta, Omega, can you speak Chinese!"

Zhang Xingguo, who had been playing cards silently, suddenly said, "Don't let Ah Cheng hear your words, if he hears, he will turn his face."

Of course they didn't dare. For such a private matter, they were a little in awe of Ah Cheng. They neither dared nor were embarrassed to ask.

Zhang Xingguo said: "Ah Cheng is an omega, so he is destined to be from the Ming family. You don't know what is the relationship between Ah Cheng and the young master of the Ming family?"

When Cao Xingping heard this, he said curiously: "I know Ah Cheng has a good relationship with the young master of the Ming family, but he and the elder master of the Ming family? I never heard that they are getting close!"

Zhang Xingguo pointed at Wu Qiming and said, "Ask him."

When Wu Qiming saw that everyone was looking at him, he waved his hands and said, "I...not..." Then Wu Qiming saw that everyone was staring at him, and finally said to himself, "Don't talk nonsense, turn around and let Ah Cheng Brother heard that I was chewing my tongue behind my back, so I still didn’t tear me apart.”

Cao Xingping said with interest: "Speak quickly! Tell me quickly! What's going on!" Ah Cheng, who seemed to be omnipotent, impeccable, smart and not like a mortal, actually wentssip. All the "ordinary people" are very interested.

Wu Qiming said: "I just heard from the steward in Nanjing at home. You also know that some time ago, my family had a business problem and needed someone who could speak French and English to help me. Brother Ah Cheng often went to Nanjing to help me during that time. The eldest brother is the interpreter, and I heard from the driver next to the elder brother that Brother Ah Cheng lived in the old house of the Ming family when he arrived in Nanjing."

Cao Xingping said a little disappointed: "Ah Cheng and the Ming family have a good relationship. What's so strange about living in the Ming family's house in Nanjing? This is nothing gossip."

Wu Qiming muttered: "It was nothing at first, but... at that time, Ming Lou... was the young master of the Ming family, who was also studying in Nanjing. Originally, the young master of the Ming family lived in the school. The house is empty, as soon as Ah Cheng left, the young master of the Ming family ran to the old house..."

Hearing what Wu Qiming meant, Cao Xingping's eyes widened instantly, and he said, "You... you mean Ah Cheng and Minglou... No, I don't think Ah Cheng is that kind of person! What is Ah Cheng's gender? , Moderate, men are moderate, this... can Miss Ming Family accept it? Or..."

"Got it!" Xiao Rui couldn't bear to hear it, and said, "Don't think in the wrong direction, it's not what you think."

When Cao Xingping heard it, he immediately became interested again, and said, "What's going on? Do you know?"

Xiao Rui said: "It's not what you think, Ah Cheng went to Nanjing, it seems that Miss Mingjing and the Ming family let him go... Hey, don't think about it, there are dirty things in each head...Minglou , that is, the young master of the Ming family and the young lady of the Wang family are in love."

"Fuck!" Cao Xingping said with wide-eyed eyes, "The Ming family and the Wang family are deadly enemies, what kind of character is the young lady of the Ming family, and the young master of the Ming family is playing this... Hey, what are you doing about this? knew?"

"Just a while ago, Ah Cheng bought a new car. My old man never let me buy a car, so I just had fun with Ah Cheng's car. When I went to learn how to drive with him last time, I was at the Asia Hotel After eating, Ah Cheng was drunk and told me." Xiao Rui said, "Ah Cheng said, he has been holding back this matter for more than half a year, and the eldest lady of the Ming family is good to him and his mother. Tell Mingjing that he feels sorry for Mingjing, let’s say it, and he is afraid that Minglou will hate him, because he is not human, he has been running to Nanjing some time ago, and wanted to help Mingjing keep an eye on it...but later felt that he had gone too many times It's not suitable, it's a bit out of bounds, I didn't go because I was afraid that Minglou might misunderstand."

When Wu Qiming heard this, he blinked and said, "Is that so?"

Xiao Rui glared at Wu Qiming, and said, "What else? Could it be that Ah Cheng deliberately seduced Minglou? What is the relationship between Ah Cheng and the Ming family? If he wants to have that kind of heart, he needs to wait now? It needs to be like now." So desperately trying to get into your own career? How many years earlier... Besides, if Ah Cheng was really that kind of person, back then in school, the son of the head of the examination..."

In the school back then, there was a son of the head of the examination institute who liked Ah Cheng very much. He pestered Ah Cheng and said, "You are so pretty, what gender are you? But it doesn't matter, no matter what gender you are, I will marry you."

That guy was put in a sack and beaten to bed for three months in the dark and windy night, and his leg was broken into three sections. He was forced to be sent to England for treatment and recuperation. But Ah Cheng's friends, they have personally seen the way Ah Cheng looked at the boy as if he was dead when he heard the boy ask "What gender are you?" and "Marry you".

They all suspected that Ah Cheng was the one who attacked.

Since then, no one among them dared to ask Ah Cheng about his gender, and Aunt Gui did not hide anything, and she always said that Ah Cheng's parents were middle-of-the-road. Ah Cheng brought up these potentially troublesome topics in front of him.

Xiao Rui said: "If you want me to say, brother Ah Cheng is just too worried, and he doesn't owe the Ming family anything, is it worth worrying about for the Ming family?"

Hearing this, Wu Qiming sneered and said, "Brother Ah Cheng has worried a lot about you, why don't you say that you can't do it, it's the same worry, it might be more worthwhile to worry about Ming's family."

Of course, the family backgrounds of the people present couldn’t be compared with the Ming family’s. One factory in the Ming family was enough for them to drink a pot, so Xiao Rui was speechless for a while.
