Chapter 65: Recognize her as your master and find a bar
By then, she had already filled a glass and was beginning to enjoy the food. Since her back was turned, her expression couldn't be seen, but her occasional glass-raising gestures and the relaxed lines of her back all suggested she was relaxed and at ease.
The two people on the other side weren't having such a good time. They drank bottle after bottle of beer, their expressions becoming increasingly forced, and in the end, even repulsive, but their hands didn't stop moving.
"What are they doing?" Zhong Ziang looked confused.
Two grown men were pouring wine into Jiang Fuyue's mouth? And they weren't pouring wine on her, but on themselves?!
It's like you're possessed, don't you know how to stop?
"I'll go down and take a look..."
Chunfeng Street, inside a food stall.
After Xiaoliu apologized, he collapsed with a thud. Hu Ben was still lucid, staring at Jiang Fuyue with his dark eyes, his emotions surging, but he couldn't find a word.
"Nothing else, I'm leaving first." Jiang Fuyue made a gesture to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Hu Ben stood up immediately and took two steps forward. His eagerness concealed a trace of nervousness that he himself had not even noticed.
Jiang Fuyue turned around.
"What can I do for you?" he asked, his dark pupils reflecting a surprisingly bright light under the light.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow.
"I'm still useful, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to meet me," Hu Ben said, speculating. "It was like that last time, and it's the same this time."
People like Jiang Fuyue, unless they have ulterior motives, would never waste their precious time just to listen to two small people apologize in person.
She would simply ignore him and Xiaoliu as if they were air.
After saying that, Hu Ben stopped talking and cast his burning eyes on Jiang Fuyue's face, not missing any expression.
Soon, the woman's eyebrows moved slightly, and a faint smile spread across the corners of her mouth, revealing a hint of mystery: "You are smarter than I thought..."
The tone was very soft, like a whisper.
The content was even more incoherent, but it made Hu Ben's heart stagnate, and the feeling that he was about to understand the mystery became stronger.
Jiang Fuyue looked him up and down, as if getting to know him all over again. After a while, she opened her red lips and said, "So, what do you think you can do?"
Hu Ben: "Things you are not convenient to do or do not have time to do."
And he can do either.
Jiang Fuyue's smile deepened.
Hu Ben suddenly had an idea, as if all the wisdom he had accumulated in the first half of his life had burst out at this moment. He heard his own calm voice: "How about we sit down and talk?"
"Okay." Jiang Fuyue replied.
It was still the same corner, at the same small table. There were originally three people there, one was drunk and unconscious, while the other two were sober, but the atmosphere was inexplicably serious.
Jiang Fuyue: "Why don't you ask me what I want you to do?"
Hu Ben was very calm: "You will know when you should know."
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "It seems that you have decided to take this business from me?"
Hu Ben shook his head: "I don't think this is a business."
"Oh? What's that?"
"A pledge of allegiance."
Jiang Fuyue's eyebrows jumped and he raised his eyes sternly.
"I want to hang out with you," Hu Ben said, his eyes burning like two flames. "I'm helping you to show my sincerity, just like these drinks today are an apology."
He had offended Jiang Fuyue so badly before, and he just drank a lot to wipe out the previous grudges. But if he wanted to follow her in the future, he had to show enough ability to prove that he was "useful".
Hu Ben is very clear about this.
Jiang Fuyue sneered, somewhat nonchalantly and a little disapprovingly.
Such an attitude is infuriating.
But Hu Ben remained calm, staring at her with his black eyes, silently expressing his persistence.
"Hooking up with me? Do you know what you're talking about? Have you thought about it?" Jiang Fuyue said coldly, "I'm a high school student. What? You want to go back to school and take the college entrance examination?"
"No, no, no," Hu Ben quickly shook his head with a horrified expression, "I'm not cut out for studying!"
"Then why are you hanging out with me?"
After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent, one was calm, the other heavy.
After a long while, Hu Ben finally managed to utter, "I don't believe you are just a high school student!"
Jiang Fuyue became interested and crossed her arms over her chest: "Oh? Then tell me, what else can I be?"
"It's not that simple!"
"How do you know?"
“It’s everywhere.”
Jiang Fuyue pulled the corners of her mouth, half smiling, "You haven't even figured out the situation yet, and yet you come to show your loyalty to me. Isn't that a bit rash?"
"I thought about it for a long time before deciding."
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Aren't you afraid that I will ask you to kill people or set fire to things?"
Hu Ben suddenly froze, his eyes flickering, as if he was really thinking about this possibility.
I don't know how long it took, "...I can work for you, but only if you are worthy of me."
This is not Jiang Fuyue choosing him, but he is choosing the master.
After saying that, Hu Ben scratched his head and added, "I don't think you would do that, and naturally you wouldn't instruct others to do it."
For example, in the case of Li Xue, he believed that if Jiang Fuyue was willing, there would be more direct and cruel ways to deal with the other party, but she didn't.
They just dug up the "Zhan Yating incident" and acted as a whistleblower behind the scenes, adding fuel to the flames, allowing public opinion to reveal the truth and the law to judge the crimes.
She used the most bright and upright means.
Perhaps because of this, Hu Ben was like a fool and wanted to follow her regardless of the consequences.
Subconsciously, he felt that this person was not dangerous, so he let down his guard and allowed himself to get close.
"Interesting." Jiang Fuyue sat up straight, still smiling, "Aren't you going to submit your pledge of allegiance? Listen carefully..."
Hu Ben suddenly sat up straight, his eyes shining.
"Find me a bar that has three characteristics."
"First, there's a blue sign, a golden gate, and seven money trees at the entrance, lined up in a row, or three on the left and four on the right."
"Secondly, the bar counter is not facing the main entrance, the cash register is out of the way, and there are at least two side or back doors."
"Third, there are forty-nine booths, eighty-one lamps in the hall, and the private rooms are decorated with Tai Chi and Bagua elements."
"If you find a bar that meets these three conditions, please let me know."
Hu Ben went over Jiang Fuyue's words in his mind with a strange expression: "Why does it sound like a feng shui scheme?"
Jiang Fuyue was slightly surprised: "Do you know Feng Shui?"
"My great aunt was called 'Flower Viewing Lady'. I've heard her mention it before and have some impression of it."
"Um."
Hu Ben thought for a while: "Does this bar have a specific scope?" Whether it is the entire province or the entire country, he must have a general idea before he can start.
Jiang Fuyue: "It's in Linhuai City."
After her rebirth, she had been wanting to find someone, but she couldn't get away. Someone like Hu Ben, a mediocre person, would be a good candidate, but before that, Jiang Fuyue didn't dare to use him.
I didn't expect this person to come to me...
"One month, I want to see the results."
"Okay." Hu Ben nodded, then raised the glass with a sip of wine left in it, "From now on, you are my boss!"
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm not involved in the underworld, so there's no need for such a gangster-like name. You can just call me by my name."
"How can that be?" Hu Ben refused. What did the subordinates in TV dramas call their mistresses?
lady?
wrong.
"Miss." Hu Ben lowered his eyes with a respectful attitude.
Jiang Fuyue followed him and picked up a black plastic bag and put it on the table: "Put it away."
Hu Ben opened the bag suspiciously, and the next second, he gasped...
