    Half an hour later, at 4:30 p.m., the Old Cantonese Restaurant on Shuihuo Street welcomed several high-rolling customers. The boss and waiters almost cried because of the high-rolling customers.

    "Dude, come to a private room! Something cleaner."

    "There are no private rooms." The waiter looked back at the empty benches and square tables in the store, feeling a little confused.

    ¡°Forget it, the nearest good restaurant around here is in the dock area where I am. Let¡¯s just make do with a few towels to wipe away the sweat.¡±

    ¡°There are no towels.¡±

    "Forget it, do you have any red wine? Haibo brand will do."

    ¡°There is no red wine, only white wine.¡±

    ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s a small place, come with a basin of ice cubes to cool down, it¡¯s still so hot at this time.¡±

    "Ice cubes? What is that?"

    These people are friends of Fang Bingsheng and Li Jinren. It seems that they came to Fang Bingsheng for something. Fang Bingsheng was trying to find a high-paying job. How could he let go of this opportunity? Although the Li family interfered with Fang Bingsheng's electoral cheating two years ago.  The big thing was that he commanded thugs from the Western Medicine Guild to beat up the Li family, including Li Jinren, and also accused the old man Li Lianwen in front of the mayor of Shaoguan. If the Li family had committed a crime at that time, they would have put him in jail.  It doesn't matter.

    But as the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the casino, then there are no enemies in front of interests.

    When they arrived, Fang Bingsheng immediately pretended that he had never beaten up the Li family, and he also followed Li Jinren's words to smooth out the situation: Back then, he went to Shaoguan to preside over the election because Li Lianwen was the first to sign up.  As a candidate, Fang Bingsheng and the Li family sympathized with each other and had the same spirit.  It was a mutual friendship, and we regret meeting each other too late.

    In front of the thin man, everyone made up stories to each other in vain. As expected, Li Jinren invited everyone to sit outside and meet Qianbei Shao again after a long absence.

    However, there are no decent restaurants in Shuihuo Street. They are all for coolies and workers. And I don¡¯t know how Li Jinren boasted about Fang Bingsheng to the thin man, so that the thin man saw that Fang Bingsheng was so poor and ugly. As a result,  I have always been a little suspicious of Fang Bingsheng, and I don¡¯t want to spend so much energy walking long distances to eat; walking ten miles and spending 20 yuan to eat just to listen to a poor man¡¯s nonsense?  Even if they beat up Li Jinren and Fang Bingsheng, time is money.

    As a result, the two rich men went into a small restaurant on the roadside.  I want to have a good chat with Fang Bingsheng.

    When Li Jinren was ordering food there.  The thin man asked Fang Bingsheng: "I heard from Mr. Li that you are an expert in elections and a great talent in Western learning. Why do you have to succumb to a small shop like that? I think with your ability, you can easily go to other railway companies in a matter of minutes.  Bar?"

    This clearly does not trust oneself.  This guy has never reported his name or identity.

    Fang Bingsheng smiled bitterly.  He lowered his head and tugged on his robe that was full of oil stains and oil smell.  When I glanced at my hands, I found that the gaps between my nails were full of black putty, yes.  How do you look like a great Western scholar?

    In a place with rapid development like Haisong, how could a Western scholar be unemployed and become a handyman at the counter?

    But how to explain it?

    ?Explain yourself that the boss of Huichuan Hall treats you as a scapegoat?

    "Explain that you are not actually a skilled Western general, but a chief eunuch?"  A gangster?  The latter two are found all over the world and are not rare skills;

    Explaining that he did all kinds of evil in the railway circle for Weng Jianguang, and even intimidated other company executives, at a time like his own, it was a good thing that other proud railway companies did not send thugs, no, they did not send a killer to repair themselves;

    Explaining that he was fooled by Zhong Jialiang and Yicheng of the Foreign Medicine Guild during the election. Who among the members of the Democratic Party dares to be reported by the boss as the number one suspect for "attempting murder and interfering with the election"?

    In fact, there is no need to talk about the party, "The richest man, Zhong Jialiang, framed himself!" This alone was enough for him to be unemployed for many years. Maybe he was lucky not to die on the street.

    It¡¯s not that Zhong Jialiang offended him, nor that he offended Zhong Jialiang, but that Zhong Jialiang framed him. This is even more terrifying than when he beat up Zhong Jialiang. The person who feels terrible is not Zhong Jialiang, whose hands and eyes are as big as the sky, but the unlucky guy who was framed.

    As for the Liberal Party, don¡¯t even think about it: What¡¯s the point of bringing in a murder suspect who was reported by someone else?  Are you ready to dig your own hole, jump in, and throw the shovel to the Democrats?

    There are many people in the high-level Western learning circle of Haisong Dynasty, but in fact it can be said that it is very small. Who doesn¡¯t know who in the circle?  People outside the circle can only see this group of people in newspapers. Of course, as a reader, you can't remember so many people. Looking at it this way, Fang Bingsheng is really unemployed;

    ??The last and most critical reason is to explain that he has been waiting for Weng Jianguang to change his mind like a resentful woman, but in the end, he himself is finished after waiting so long?

    &nIt is a compliment and respect to the horse trainer.

    Fang Bingsheng believes that if he is not an expert in this field, and if the other party does not want to ask him for advice on this matter, then instead of putting on a suit and leather shoes to ask him, he will find a group of workers to beat him up to relieve his anger.

    "Haha, I got the approval to apply to join the Liberal Party a few days ago. Now I am very worried and don't know what to do." Li Jinren smiled honestly, but glanced at Fang Bingsheng like a thief. He was telling lies: In fact, he had been a few months old.  He joined the Liberal Party some time ago, and the approval process was very fast. The reason was that when the court was debating whether the three Dacheng council members chosen by Zhong Jialiang for free would count, the Liberal Party came to Shaoguan to find dirty information about the Democratic Party's manipulation of the election. His father, Li Lianwen, immediately added insult to injury or retribution.  Obviously, an article was published in the newspaper to reveal how the Democratic Party headed by Fang Bingsheng was so unscrupulous, intimidated the good, and manipulated the election; because Li Lianwen worked for the Liberal Party, the eldest son's application to join the party came down quickly.

    Of course, Li Lianwen is willing to take the lead and serve as a thug against Fang Bingsheng and the Democratic Party. People within the Li family say that Li Jinren, the eldest brother who is recognized as "the laziest, most slippery, and the most treacherous", encouraged the old man. However, this statement is wrong.  It's also correct: yes, he was the one who instigated it; wrong, the old man was a conspirator. At that time, the father and son planned to join the Liberal Party and participate in campaign donations. Cursing the Democratic Party and Fang Bingsheng was just a vote of confidence.  (To be continued)
