The "Old Ghost" is indeed a man of temperament. Once someone falls into his eyes, he will change his usual aloofness and become very warm and approachable. And do your best to be worthy of your friends.

For example, after having a full meal that day, the "old ghost" not only personally sent Hong Yanwu to the streets of Caishikou. The next day, "Xiao Leizi" made a special trip to give Hong Yanwu a generous gift in return - a full five hundred yuan.

Good guy, in this way, Hong Yanwu's visit to the "old ghost" turned into a money-making business. Therefore, Hong Yanwu felt very sorry for this, and he was so frightened that he tried his best to refuse, and he did not even dare to accept the apology.

Unexpectedly, "Xiao Leizi" told Hong Yanwu that the "old ghost" had specifically told him when he came here, saying that Hong Yanwu would have no income in the future, and now it was time to use money, so he should help him. point. I'm really ungrateful. The so-called friends are just nonsense. I'd better just stop meeting each other from now on.

As the saying goes, if others give you face, you have to carry it yourself. In this way, Hong Yanwu knew that if he was more polite, he would really offend the "old ghost". He had no choice but to accept it shamelessly. As for this friendship, I can only keep it deeply in my heart and repay it later.

But this matter is not over yet. What surprised Hong Yanwu was that "Xiao Leizi" actually joined in the fun and even offered a hundred yuan as a gift. Damn it, he did this to thank Hong Yanwu for sending him two capable subordinates.

What made Hong Yanwu even more dumbfounded was that "Xiao Leizi" also had the idea of ​​"Xiao Baizi". He took the initiative to ask Hong Yanwu if he could let "Xiao Baizi" come to his place.

Speaking of which, this was the fermentation effect that night. In fact, since the negotiation, many "hands", including "Hongye", have fallen in love with "Xiao Baizi"'s slingshot skills, and have expressed their intention to recruit him.

It's just that "Xiao Baizi" is different from Hong Yanwu's old subordinates who are unwilling to change careers. He has not yet been deeply involved in this circle. Hong Yanwu really hoped that he could live a normal life, so he refused even if he made his own decision. It was quite "arrogant" to act as an unreasonable "parent" for "Xiao Baizi". So naturally, at this time, I can only express gratitude but not sensitivity.

For this reason, although "Xiao Leizi" is quite sorry, he can't force it. But he insisted on keeping Hong Yanwu's one hundred yuan reward. Otherwise, it would be thought that Hong Yanwu looked down on him.

In fact, in Hong Yanwu's eyes, how can this mere one hundred yuan compare with the friendship of the future "King of Capital"? Of course, he would not let go of this great opportunity to establish friendship, so he immediately pretended to value love and justice and regarded money as dirt, and insisted on declining.

Hong Yanwu said that he dared to assert that "Xiao Leizi" would definitely surpass him in future achievements. He entrusted "Xiao Lei Zi" with his character and ability. If you want to collect this money, it will become a buying and selling transaction. Not only did he feel sorry for his two brothers who trusted him, he also became a mercenary person. If you really want to thank, "Xiao Leizi" only needs to be kind to his "little wife" and "jar".

Although the two are almost the same age, what is Hong Yanwu’s status? After all, he was the "master" of the team in the past, and now he is a widely praised "legendary figure". No matter how talented "Xiao Leizi" is, he's still not ready to start his own business, right?

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu's "quite forward-looking" prophecy and his "insightful eye" packaged in hypocrisy made "Xiao Leizi" elated on the spot. In his heart, he felt that Hong Yanwu really valued him, and he felt particularly proud of his appearance.

Face is the most important thing in the "player" circle, more important than money. Only if someone recognizes you can you eat happily.

So it's the same situation as Hong Yanwu just now. In this way, "Xiao Leizi" can no longer persist. Not only did he thank him repeatedly, he also patted his chest and said that he would definitely reuse his "little wife" and "jar". After that, I went back happily.

Hong Yanwu also easily received a favor from "Xiao Leizi". It can be said that he successfully gained the favor of the future "King of Capital". If I really ask for something in the future, "Xiao Leizi" will definitely respond to my request with this affection in mind. Compared with one hundred yuan, that is much more cost-effective.

However, although Hong Yanwu thought he had an exquisite heart and a very clever calculation, what he did not expect was that those who calculate others also calculate others. In fact, the "old ghost"'s calculations were no worse than his own. Because just after "Xiao Leizi" returned to his life, the following conversation took place between "Old Ghost" and him.

"How was it? Did you collect the money?"

The "Old Ghost" spoke slowly. At that time, he was sitting and flipping through the newspaper in his hand without looking up.

"I accepted it, but my one hundred yuan was confiscated."

"Xiao Leizi" looked serious and his tone was equally calm.

"Is he looking down on you?"

The "Old Ghost" suddenly stopped what he was doing and was a little stunned.

"On the contrary, he was not too polite to me, and said that I would definitely be able to surpass him in the future. Moreover, this man was very angry and said that he would just let me treat his brother well. He was afraid that he would be dirty if he took the money. Their brotherhood..."

Hearing "Xiao Leizi"'s somewhat complacent tone, "Old Ghost" couldn't help but shake his head.

"Silly boy, you believe it when he says this?"

"Little Leizi" was unprepared and stuttered.

"...This...then tell me, if it weren't for this, what would he want?"

The "old ghost" put down the newspaper in his hand and began to look out the window.

"What else could I be trying to do? It's just for the favor you owe him. The fact that he compliments you so much has almost the same meaning as the return gift I gave him. I wasn't sure about it at first, but looking at it now, this guy I sent you here because I wanted to make friends with you. Okay, I have far-reaching ideas and a good vision..."

"Xiao Leizi" couldn't believe it and was full of doubts.

"Brother, can't you? Can he still want to be together with you? Is he so smart?"

Unexpectedly, the "old ghost" sneered, turned to him, and said rather self-deprecatingly, "Me? Who am I? I am just an old scumbag. After many hardships, I have not yet entered the mainstream. Don't forget, There is someone out there. If you ask me, this guy "Red Boy" can be considered the number one. You see, how cruel and ruthless he was when he came back. The end justifies the means, which is his style. Giving in three points, knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing the trade-offs are also his style. He can make the impossible become a reality, such as being besieged by five "hands". , I was not as good as him back then. The most important thing is his vision, which is so accurate in looking at society and problems. You will probably not be able to catch up with his achievements in the future..."

When "Xiao Leizi" heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but pout.

"Brother, do you think so little of me? After all, I was trained by you. If you should give me a chance to go solo as soon as possible, I might have surpassed him long ago."

The "old ghost" didn't rub sand in his eyes and told the truth.

"What's the matter, you still don't believe it? Remember, temperament is useless, ability is the real thing. Humph, don't think you have already started in the 'Tao'er'. But it depends on people and things. He's really not that good at all. Listen, from now on, you have to be more careful and respectful to this guy. In a word, if you can be a friend, don't be an enemy. If you can help, don't be an enemy. Chaos. You have to know that it is difficult to sustain yourself in any industry. If you want to go far, you need help from others. ”

"But...he has already withdrawn from this circle. Selling his favors has no practical benefit to us?"

Seeing that "Xiao Leizi" was confused about the key issues, "Old Ghost" frowned slightly, feeling quite dissatisfied.

"You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Are you childish? Tell me something you don't like to hear. In addition to stuffing a grenade into a spit brazier to suppress "Little Guier Cui"'s 'Xishan Boss' (in history The first "player" in the capital to die at the hands of a young revolutionary general was earlier than the "little bastard" Zhou Changli. Back then, the "Xishan Boss" organized a gang called the "Hongshan Club" to fight against the "old soldiers". The symbol of the meeting is that everyone wears a red vest with the "Temple of Heaven" logo. The "Xishan Boss" is also a tough guy. After being caught by the "veterans", he refused to surrender after being tortured. In the end, he was used by a group of "veterans". The wooden gun used in military training back then was used to stab people to death.) I have never seen such a wise and brave master. If "Red Boy" still sticks to this circle, he will definitely be your biggest opponent. Just focus on his mind and skills. , you will never get ahead. If that were the case, what we should be thinking about is not how to make friends with him, but how to eradicate him completely. But now, it is precisely because he has resigned willingly and has no conflict of interest with you, and he has gone out of his way to deal with you. Make good friends, and I will really help you in the future. Remember, people will always be ranked third, sixth, or ninth. On the stage. Because of his natural acumen, he is bold, extremely smart, and unconventional. I dare say that no matter what profession he is in, he will be a top person. "

"Brother, I understand."

By this time, "Xiao Leizi" had completely awakened, but then he thought of an embarrassing question and couldn't help asking hesitantly.

"Then...what if one day I end up facing him?"

The "Old Ghost" immediately stared at "Xiao Leizi"'s face. He did not expect that this confidant would think of this worst-case scenario. However, after thinking about it, he still gave the answer seriously.

"Then you must be cautious. Tough, you have to deal with people's problems. Tactful, you have to deal with people's affairs. If this kind of situation really happens, you can tolerate it as long as you can, and don't fall out easily over trivial things. Use it wisely. For those who are still alive, it's better to take a step back to open up the world. But once you decide to take action, you must spare no effort and must kill it completely. If you can't do it, the "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" will do it. Your lessons learned..."

"Thank you for your advice, brother! I understand!"

"Xiao Leizi" responded without any hesitation and had nothing else to say.
