I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 339: Face Boy

After getting the money and receipt, Gu Chao's hands shook, and he put the somewhat hot sum of money into his arms. After standing up, he nodded to Old James: "A pleasant transaction. If there is goods, I will come again."

Old James was stunned for a moment. He had just had an idea in his mind. After hearing these words, he suddenly changed his mind.

 Gold maintains its value and has promising prospects.

If there is a stable supply of goods, maybe you can not be so anxious to "take care of" this guy.

 Old James smiled and decided to take a gamble: "Then, you are welcome to come again."

After Gu Chao left, the boy with yellow skin and face approached old James: "Dad, why don't you do something?"

Old James's eyes flashed, and he patted the boy's head: "Isn't there an old saying in China: Put a long line to catch a big fish? Jinghong."

 Xie Jinghong responded and nodded slightly.

 The immature face of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old has a maturity that is inconsistent with that of his peers.

 Xie Jinghong turned around, and an overly bright, perverse and weird smile suddenly appeared on his cute and childish face.

 If you put a long line, will you definitely be able to catch a big fish?

That’s a lot of money.

As soon as Xie Jinghong left, the man who disappeared at the door suddenly came back.

 Old James took off his glasses and was wiping the lenses with the corner of his clothes.

Seeing Gu Chao come back again, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong, young man?"

“Do you have the shopping receipt from Haishi?”

   *

The money was hot, and Gu Chao was eager to return home. When he came out of the business store, he wanted to find a place to buy everything he planned to buy in order to catch the ferry back to Province H at noon tomorrow.

 It’s just that it’s already dark outside, there are very few pedestrians, and the businesses are turning off their lights and closing their doors one after another.

Under the dim street lights, Gu Chao exhaled a white breath and had no choice but to find a place to stay.

Having walked along the street for half a quarter of an hour, Gu Chao suddenly stopped and the sound of his shoes hitting the snow behind him stopped one after another.

 The group of people who followed looked at each other in confusion, and finally quickly approached and surrounded the people surrounded by them.

The opponent's intention was obvious. Gu Chao couldn't help but draw the short blade from his waist, turned around and directly pressed the blade against the neck of the first person who rushed over.

"What, you want to rob me?" Gu Chao glanced sideways at everyone.

·When those people saw that their companions were being held hostage, they immediately did not dare to act rashly.

With a snap of his fingers, the people surrounding Gu Chao looked at each other and immediately moved away to both sides.

Gu Chao frowned and was wondering what the other party meant when he saw a small man retreating from the path and slowly walking out of the middle. A small man wearing a long coat and a red face mask walked out.

　　Or…

 Is he a teenager?

"It's you, little boy." The dim light shone on Gu Chao through the bare branches on the street. His lips curved in a cold arc, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Hearing this, the young man with facial makeup paused slightly, as if he was angry because of embarrassment. He bent down and ran towards Gu Chao, and struck Gu Chao straight in the chest with a sharp blade.

"Why, your plan is just like this? Are you so anxious to take back the money you just took out from your pocket?" The short blade in his hand turned like a magic trick. Gu Chao took a slight step away and easily dodged the opponent's attack. .

The young man with a facial expression remained silent, and every sharp attack with his sword was easily dodged by the man.

After a few times, he became a little anxious and struck harder, but only tore a small gap in the man's chest clothes.

His slender brows were furrowed under his facial makeup. The young man still wanted to attack. The man in front of him stopped breathing, and his aura suddenly changed, becoming overwhelming.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and his neck was clamped by the opponent and he was pressed against the tree.

"I have no obligation to play house with the kid." Gu Chao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pressed the short blade against the tree trunk with a clang. He clamped the boy's neck and slid it down to the hand that tore his cotton-padded jacket. .

Gu Chao pulled gently, and the boy who had been silent all this time suddenly let out a cry of pain.     “surprised…”

The group of people surrounding him screamed in surprise and wanted to fight with Gu Chao, but Gu Chao threw the young man directly over.

Gu Chao glanced sideways at everyone, and smiled slightly wildly: "Next time, it won't be like this."

 Put away the broken blade, turn around and leave.

"you!"

The man who was supporting the young man's face turned ugly. He was about to rush forward, but his cuffs suddenly tightened.

The young man pulled him, and the voice behind the facial mask was muffled: "Go back first."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the man whose shadow was stretched further and further away by the street lamp, and etched it in his memory.

Even he failed, how can he pity these people even more?

Xie Jinghong pursed his lips and took the lead in walking back while holding his dislocated right hand.

 He underestimated that man.

 How can you bring so many things here without any real ability?

Xie Jinghong's steps staggered on the snow, making a rustling sound. Xie Jinghong lowered his eyes and took off the mask from his face with sickly white hands. He had basically predicted in his heart what he would encounter when he returned home a moment later.

"Ah…"

A sneer appeared on Xie Jinghong's frivolous, slightly obedient lips, and a hint of darkness flashed through Xie Jinghong's dark eyes.

   *

Xie Jinghong has been trained as a master, and has a 100% chance of winning against ordinary people. However, in front of Gu Chao, who is also well-founded, he seems a little unsatisfied.

Gu Chao is not a person who is greedy for pleasure. He originally just planned to find a place casually, but what happened just now rang the alarm bell in his heart.

The feeling of being stared at is not good. Even if he manages to escape, just in case, Gu Chao chooses a state-owned hotel as his place of stay.

 The difference between state-run hotels in big cities and guesthouses in small places is not only in size and security, but also in decoration.

This state-run hotel was built on the foundation of an old mansion. From the red-painted hollow screen at the entrance to the guest room upstairs, there are green bonsai and strange rockery with tall people.

Gu Chao only glanced at it briefly and didn't look any further.

In today's society, there is still a popular trend of "not liking red clothes, preferring armed forces". The common people dress simply and plainly, and the streets are dusty at first glance during the day. Compared with the brightly lit and red-painted flower corridors here, they are simply two extremes.

 “It’s worth” the two yuan room fee.

The boy with a crew cut pushed open the door. After Gu Chao entered, he stood at the door and said, "Comrade, the comrades on duty at nine and two o'clock at night will go into the house to fill coal. In order not to disturb your rest, please don't leave." bolt."

 Haishi is close to the sea. In winter, strong winds and heavy rains cause seasonal humidity. This hotel is equipped with a fire pit that burns briquettes.

 Briquettes are generally not placed in guest rooms. Firstly, they are more dangerous, and secondly, they are afraid of being stolen.

For the safety of guests, we will emphasize this when guests check in.

Gu Chao shook his head gently: "There is no need to burn the kang here." After saying that, he closed the door.

The young comrade who received him was rejected and thought to himself: Isn’t this the first time this person has come to Haishi? It's so cold, how can a single room be warmed up?

“Then, I’ll bring you hot water soon!”

The door is locked, and after checking the doors and windows to make sure there is no big problem, the tense nerves slowly relax.

Ah Yao: Remember this Xie Jinghong, I will take the test in the future
