Chapter 459: How many of you? Come together?
The security company's opening ceremony was very lively, with a warm and energetic atmosphere. Not only were there many guests and customers attending, but there were also professional performance teams presenting wonderful programs, making the entire event scene filled with joy and happiness.
This opening was very successful and quickly increased the security company's visibility in Yanjing.
On the same day of opening, Huo Jianguo received many small orders related to security maintenance, which made him very excited.
Faced with these small orders, he secretly made up his mind to complete them to perfection no matter what, because only in this way could he win more customers' trust.
He firmly believed that as long as he could complete these small orders well, bigger business opportunities would surely follow.
With the successful conclusion of the opening ceremony, except for Chen Yillong who decided to stay in Yanjing to celebrate a happy New Year, everyone else began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave Yanjing and return to the border.
As she was about to leave, Chu Yinglan felt deeply conflicted.
She really didn't want to go back to that small police station in Shanghai and continue working as a clerk.
She hopes to join Huo Jianguo's security company because she feels that Huo Jianguo's security company has a military atmosphere.
However, the special feelings she once had for Huo Jianguo made her embarrassed to bring up this matter.
Du Lei knew Chu Yinglan's thoughts and also saw Chu Yinglan's dilemma.
He constantly encouraged her to be brave enough to do what she wanted to do.
But Chu Yinglan never dared to take that step.
This made Du Lei feel very uncomfortable. He asked Chu Yinglan: "You can't be still unable to let go of Huo Jianguo! Otherwise, why don't you dare to go?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yinglan glared at Du Lei unhappily, "I just think we should avoid suspicion. Do you understand?"
"What's there to avoid? He doesn't like you and you don't like him. Can't you just work together? I think you just can't let go." Du Lei said bluntly.
This made Chu Yinglan dissatisfied: "You are very rude. I said I let it go and it's let it go!
What qualifications do you have to question my character? Don't I know the little bit of decency?
Also, whether I let it go or not has nothing to do with you, just shut up!"
Because she felt that Du Lei's words had no sense of boundaries, Chu Yinglan stomped her feet and left angrily.
Shao Gang, who was following Du Lei, saw Chu Yinglan walking away, then he shook his head and sighed:
"If you like her, just say it directly! What is Lao Ti Huo Jianguo doing? Is there anyone like you?"
"I dare not say." Du Lei looked at his face full of pimples in the mirror with some frustration.
He really didn't dare to say it. If the person Chu Yinglan had in her heart was Huo Jianguo, then how could she accept such an ugly and ordinary person like him?
If I tell him, it might be awkward when we meet again in the future! So I'd better not tell him.
Knowing why Du Lei felt inferior, Shao Gang could only sigh helplessly:
"If you don't dare to say it, then just keep it to yourself! Don't be too sad, at least I don't abandon you."
"Get lost..."
…………
Chu Yinglan hesitated again and again, and as she was about to leave for the border to celebrate the New Year, she finally decided to ask Huo Jianguo and Su Mei if she could stay in the security company.
She thought to herself: I, Chu Yinglan, am upright and honest. I only have friendship with Huo Jianguo now. If you want to try this job, just work hard for it. There is nothing to worry about!
After thinking it through, Chu Yinglan decided to go directly to Su Mei and Huo Jianguo's house to talk to them.
She took a bus to the vicinity of Yenching University, then got off the bus and walked all the way to Su Mei's home.
Little did she know that before she reached her destination, she would run into a group of hooligans in the alley.
When those street urchins saw Chu Yinglan was alone, they surrounded her.
"Hey, little beauty, you're quite pretty!" the bald thug said maliciously.
Chu Yinglan rolled her eyes at them and cursed coldly, "Get lost!"
"Hey, that's pretty hot!" As the gangster said this, he didn't respond to Chu Yinglan's scolding or beating. Instead, he reached out to touch Chu Yinglan's face.
"Pa!" Chu Yinglan raised her hand and slapped the bald man in the face without thinking.
"You are so blind, how dare you touch me!"
Perhaps he didn't expect to be slapped, the bald man was instantly enraged by the slap. He widened his eyes and cursed angrily:
"Fuck, you little bitch, you dare to hit me, don't you want to live?"
After saying that, he raised his hand, ready to fight back.
As a result, as soon as the bald man raised his hand, he was kicked away by Chu Yinglan.
His fat body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" The bald man fell to the ground, squealing like a pig.
At this moment, a black car drove slowly in from outside and stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Sitting in the car was a man in a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He frowned and glanced at the situation in the alley.
This man was Xu Jiuri, who drove over to see Su Mei about some business.
"Beat her, beat her for me." The bald man shouted loudly, covering his flattened stomach.
Hearing this, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked worriedly at the weak woman surrounded by several thugs.
Although the man didn't like to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't bear to see a weak woman being bullied by a group of hooligans in broad daylight.
So, without much hesitation, he prepared to open the car door and get out to help the woman.
But before he opened the car door, he saw the woman politely unbuttoning her shirt, revealing the black vest underneath.
Then she put her hands on her hips, squinted her eyes at the other three street urchins, hooked her fingers, and said provocatively:
"Are you guys going to fight? Come on, don't waste my time, come together!"
"Damn it, she's looking for death. Come on, brothers, let's kill this bitch together?" The bald man was lying on the ground, still remembering the ghostly and howling orders.
Hearing the bald man's order, the other three thugs immediately rushed forward, waving their fists and sticks, trying to attack Chu Yinglan.
Chu Yinglan, who was very good at fighting when she was in the army, was agile. She easily avoided the attacks of the gangsters and quickly counterattacked.
She kicked, punched, and even elbowed and kneed her enemies.
Every move she made was clean and beautiful, so smooth and efficient that the thugs had no way of resisting her.
In a short while, the gangsters were beaten to pieces and lay on the ground screaming and howling.
Some of them covered their stomachs, some held their heads, and some rolled on the ground begging for mercy, completely losing their previous arrogance.
Seeing the people lying in a mess on the ground, Chu Yinglan clapped her hands, straightened her clothes, and then left the scene in a leisurely manner.
Xu Jiuri's hand had been holding the car door handle. He did not expect things to turn out like this, so he could only widen his eyes, adjust his gold-rimmed glasses, and look on in surprise.
After standing there in a daze for a long time, Xu Jiuri finally remembered to continue driving.
Driving past the thugs lying on the ground, Xu Jiuri saw that they were all beaten black and blue. It was a horrible sight. He cried out in his heart!
Terrible!
Damn!
Because it was difficult to park outside Su Mei's house, Xu Jiuri drove his car to the outside of Yenching University and parked it before walking to Su Mei's house.
He couldn't forget the woman who had just stood there.
He was still thinking about this matter until he arrived at Su Mei's house.
He was still in a daze when he entered the yard. But when he looked up, he saw the woman who had just knocked down a group of thugs.
[It's her!] Xu Jiuri thought that after this brief encounter with that woman, he would never meet her again.
I didn't expect to bump into her again so soon.
So he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, thinking to himself: I have never seen such a handsome, neat and special woman.
Su Mei was chatting with Chu Yinglan at the moment. When she saw Xu Jiuri coming, she quickly greeted him:
"Jiuri, why are you here? Please take a seat."
"I came to talk to you about something." After Xu Jiuri sat down, he looked at Chu Yinglan curiously for a few times before he couldn't help asking, "Who is this girl? Why haven't I seen her before?"
When Su Mei heard Xu Jiuri asking about Yinglan's identity, she didn't think much about it. She smiled and replied:
"Her name is Chu Yinglan, and she is Huo Jianguo's former comrade-in-arms. She also attended the opening ceremony a few days ago. Maybe you didn't notice her because there were so many people."
"Probably." Xu Jiuri suddenly realized: No wonder she looks so heroic, she turns out to be a female warrior.
Then Su Mei introduced Xu Jiuri's work to Chu Yinglan.
Chu Yinglan knew that Su Mei had worked in the research institute. After hearing the introduction, she smiled politely at Xu Jiuri.
Huo Jianguo was not at home. Chu Yinglan had already told Su Mei the purpose of her visit. Su Mei neither agreed nor refused to let Chu Yinglan join the security group.
To be honest, she was a very petty person. Thinking that Chu Yinglan had liked Huo Jianguo, she didn't want them to work together.
Although Su Mei knew that Huo Jianguo and Chu Yinglan were both very upright people and there would be nothing to be embarrassed about, she was still unwilling.
She felt that she was very possessive and did not want anyone of the opposite sex to be around Huo Jianguo, not even his friends.
However, she did not reject Chu Yinglan immediately. She felt that she should discuss the matter with Huo Jianguo and let Huo Jianguo make the decision.
As for Chu Yinglan, Su Mei couldn't give an answer for the time being. She could only ask Xu Jiuri what he was doing here.
Xu Jiuri had been secretly looking at Chu Yinglan.
It was not until Su Mei asked him the purpose of his visit that Xu Jiuri said:
"Oh, Comrade Su Mei, I came here today to tell you something. I have made some improvements based on the drug you made, and I want to apply for the marketing of a second-improved drug based on your drug. I want to ask you if it's okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Just go for it. It's a good thing to have new drugs!" Su Mei replied.
Xu Jiuri said seriously: "Of course, I have to get your consent. Thank you, Comrade Su Mei. I will give you 70% of the bonus."
Su Mei waved her hands and said, "No, no, improvement is innovation. I can't take this money."
Xu Jiuri felt that he had to give it. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Chu Yinglan's voice.
Chu Yinglan felt that it was inconvenient for her to be here, so she stood up and said to Su Mei:
"Su Mei, since you have guests to entertain, you two can chat. I'm leaving first."
"Please sit for a while!" Su Mei tried to persuade him to stay, thinking that Huo Jianguo would be back soon and they could discuss this matter face to face.
As a result, Chu Yinglan insisted on leaving, and Su Mei had no choice but to get up and see her out.
Xu Jiuri's gaze followed Chu Yinglan until her figure disappeared.
Su Mei saw Xu Jiuri looking at the direction Chu Yinglan left, and couldn't help but look at Xu Jiuri strangely and asked:
"Why are you staring at that girl? How do you know her?"
Xu Jiuri blushed and said nothing.
He pretended to be calm and chatted with Su Mei for a while. After signing the drug improvement authorization form for Su Mei, he also stood up and left.
After leaving Su Mei's house, Xu Jiuri found his car and drove back to the research institute.
The car hadn't driven far when he saw Chu Yinglan being stopped by a group of thugs.
"It was this bitch who beat us up just now. Come on, brothers, I will be a nobody if I don't beat her to death today." It turned out that the thugs who were beaten up before were unwilling to give up and called for help.
Although Chu Yinglan is very powerful, she cannot gain the upper hand against ten big men even if she has three heads and six arms.
The bald man grabbed Chu Yinglan's hair and slapped her twice.
Chu Yinglan's face was covered in blood. She must have been beaten as soon as she came out of Su Mei's house.
The alley was very quiet, and she was beaten here, so no one could hear her even if she shouted for help. |
The other side had more people and more power, so Xu Jiuri didn't dare to get off the car easily. He was afraid that he might not be able to help if he got off and would get beaten.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the passenger door, pulled out the gun from under the seat, and fired a shot into the air through the passenger door.
Soon, the gangsters were attracted by the sound of gunfire and looked towards Xu Jiuri.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Jiuri shouted loudly: "Let them go, or I will shoot you to death!"
When those people saw that Xu Jiuri had a gun, they immediately frightened and had to let Chu Yinglan go.
Seeing this, Xu Jiuri shouted, "Get in the car quickly!"
God knows how desperate Chu Yinglan felt when she was surrounded by a group of men, beaten, molested and raped!
She felt sick and cold, and thought she was going to die here today.
The sudden sound of gunfire was like heavenly music to her.
It was the first time in her life that she felt the sound of a gunshot was so pleasant.
Then she raised her head and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting in the car, holding the steering wheel, waving at her and asking her to get in.
Later, whenever Chu Yinglan thought of this moment, she would feel her heartbeat quicken, as if she had missed a beat.
Under the protection of the gun held by Xu Jiuri, Chu Yinglan staggered, wiping the blood from her nose, and got into Xu Jiuri's car with difficulty.
Then Xu Jiuri immediately drove Chu Yinglan to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Jiuri found that Chu Yinglan had fallen asleep. He called her several times but she did not respond. He could only bend over and pick up Chu Yinglan carefully, then quickly walked into the hospital with her in his arms.
Chu Yinglan closed her eyes, her heroic face was stained with blood, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xu Jiuri couldn't help but swallowing heavily.
