Thinking of all this, Lin Jing felt sad. She originally thought that even if she might not be with Hua Yan, at least the relationship between the two of them would be far more than just friends. However, Hua Yan's words completely shattered her fantasy. Raising her head suddenly, Lin Jing's eyes shone with light: "It's me who's troublesome" In an instant, she seemed to have returned to the old President Lin that Hua Yan had just met. Her attitude was neither cold nor hot, but just right. to keep people out of her world. Hua Yan sensed something was wrong with Lin Jing, but he didn't want to explain anything to Lin Jing at this time. He knew very well the path he should take and how he needed to take it. Maybe he shouldn't have intruded too much into Lin Jing's life. They were two completely different life paths from his. "Sister Lin, I'm going back first." Lin Jing waved weakly and watched Hua Yan open the door and get out of the car, but she kept sitting in the car, watching Hua Yan's back disappear at the intersection. "Friendhaha" The tears in Lin Jing's eyes finally burst out uncontrollably. After sitting in the car for a long time, Lin Jing finally started the car, but she did not drive towards the city. Instead, she drove the car to the food stalls near the market. After parking the car, Lin Jing walked towards the only stall she was familiar with. When she saw that she was alone, the boss who was busy by the stove was obviously startled. "Miss Lin, why are you here alone? Brother Huayan is not with you?" Lin Jing smiled and did not answer. She found a seat and sat down slowly. Seeing this, the boss hurriedly handed the frying spoon to his little boy, gave a few instructions, wiped his hands with his apron, and came to Lin Jing. "Ms. Lin, what do you want to have something to eat? I'm treating you!" "Every time I came here, Hua Yan would let you make whatever arrangements you wanted. It's the same today. Just look at the arrangements." Lin Jing had already wiped away the tears on her face. , said to the boss calmly. "Ms. Lin, are you a little unhappy today?" The boss was still wiping his hands, as if the oil on his hands would stain Lin Jing's clothes through the air. "No, that's fine. You can cook!" The boss hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned to the stove. Lin Jing was given two dishes, which were quickly fried and the boss came over personally carrying them. "Bring me some beer, the kind they used to drink, the kind in a barrel!" Lin Jing picked up a pair of chopsticks and said calmly. The boss hurriedly asked the boy to bring a barrel of beer. The boss's face, which was red from the oil smoke, looked a little stunned. "Um, Miss Lin, I think you can't drink so much wine by yourself. If you don't mind, can I sit down for a while?" Lin Jing saw the boss who was quite embarrassed and kept wiping his hands with his apron, and ordered nod. The boss also poured himself a glass of wine, holding it in both hands, and wanted to clink glasses with Lin Jing. Lin Jing would definitely not be able to drink with a small owner of a food stall like this, but since she sat down today, she didn't mind it. Picking up the cup, Lin Jing touched it with the boss and took a sip. The boss drank it all in one gulp, wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Ms. Lin, I know you are a cultured person, and we are all rough people. But you have to drink the beer in one gulp to feel comfortable. I am not advising you. Drinking, justjust" The boss was confused and didn't know how to organize the words. Lin Jing smiled, finally picked up the cup and drank the beer in one gulp. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the effect of psychological suggestion, but I really feel that drinking like this is much better than usual. "It really tastes better." The boss smiled honestly and scratched his head: "Hey, you guys live too meticulously, unlike us rough guys. Miss Lin, don't mind if I ask a question." Lin Jing nodded, He also took a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of the boss: "Eat some food." "If you don't want to eat, you can just eat it. How does it taste?" "Well, not bad! What do you want to say?" "Ms. Lin, are you right? Did you have a quarrel with Brother Huayan?" Seeing the boss's uneasy look, Lin Jing couldn't help but laugh: "He and I are just ordinary friends. There's no quarrel, just a little disagreement." The boss lowered his head awkwardly and raised his hands. He rubbed his apron again: "Don't be offended when I say something. You are a smart person, and so is Brother Huayan. Brother Huayan also came here to eat before, and at that time I regarded him as a regular customer. I am not a substitute. Brother Huayan said nice things, you see, I am over forty this year, but I still call him brother, not because he is the boss or something, but because I respect him and respect him from the bottom of my heart.¡±; Lin Jing raised her head in confusion: "Why?" "In the past, look at our place" The boss pointed around, poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and continued: "In the past, we This place is all managed by Hailong Gang. You probably don¡¯t know it, but it¡¯s just that kind of underworld¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Huayan¡¯s current brotherhood a underworld?¡± The boss was a little confused, but he shook his head: ¡°I don¡¯t think so. "Oh? Why?" Lin Jing felt strange. In her opinion, Huayan's brotherhood was no different from the Hailong Gang they talked about. "In the past, you see, we were under the management of the Hailong Gang. These sheds in this area were all built by the Hailong Gang. It has been seven or eight years, how much do you think these sheds are worth? I would say build one " Lin Jing didn't know much about these, but she could make her own judgment in general: "It's just some steel pipe supports and plastic steel walls, and the construction cost is only two to three thousand yuan?" The boss waved his hand: " No! It's easy to get a thousand bucks, and it can't even exceed a thousand and a half with labor! These things can't stop the wind and rain." Lin Jing nodded and listened to the boss continue, "But that's all, Hai Long. We were charged 3,000 yuan a month for help. It started out as 1,200 yuan, and gradually increased to 3,000 yuan.¡± The food stalls are all local businesses, and the profits are definitely not big. The rent alone is 3,000 yuan a month. Not to mention the construction cost of the shed, I am afraid these small business owners really can't make much money. "It's not just that. In fact, it's only three thousand. It's a small business. It's more than this to rent a store. But they don't let us buy drinks ourselves. You may not know that we are also in the catering industry, and the profits from drinks are the highest. . Of course it can¡¯t be compared to a big hotel, but it can¡¯t stand up to the large amount. I earn twelve yuan for a barrel of this beer. As you can see, Brother Huayan and the others earn at least three barrels per table, which is more than thirty. Selling twenty or thirty barrels of beer a day is not a problem, the rent is actually paid out. " "Oh, this is good!" Lin Jing didn't understand why this boss told her. Business, why does she want to know this? The boss stared wide-eyed: "Okay? Not good at all. This is now. What about before? We paid them three thousand yuan a month and didn't tell them. They also forced us to buy drinks from them, and the price was higher than now." 20%. At that time, I only earned three yuan from a barrel of wine, and the rest was earned by the Hailong Gang!" Lin Jing still didn't understand why the boss told her this. "It's different now. Brother Huayan drove away the Hailong Gang, and these sheds were given to us. We received a symbolic management fee of five hundred yuan every month. After all, they also have to hire people to clean them. Although the drinks are still purchased from them, the price is similar to that of buying it ourselves, which is just included in the shipping fee. So, if you say that they are also a gangster, I don't agree! They are gangsters and good guys in Liangshan. This is called robbing the rich and giving to the poor. " Lin Jing smiled. It turned out that this boss wanted to speak for Hua Yan. "Just for this, I'll call you Huayan brother, it's worth it!" The boss poured another glass of beer and put it on the table, "The last two times you came here, and that friend of yours, you are all high and mighty rich people. What is the popular word now? Bai Fumei! Yes, it was Bai Fumei! I was dumbfounded when you came here for the first time. I never thought that there would be someone like me. Come here to eat. You were brought here by Brother Huayan. I think Brother Huayan is very awesome!" Lin Jing laughed. This boss is a bit interesting. "Brother Huayan is not an ordinary person. He started this fraternity not to make money for himself, but to prevent us from being bullied by those gangsters. Now, I dare not say that there are no people in other places like Huayang Town. You dare to bully us! I can also see that you and your friend don't think much of Brother Hua, Xiaomin and the others, but I really want to say something to them, they are really good people, they also make money! But it is our own hard-earned money, and the little money we pay each month is enough for them to hire someone to clean this place. But if someone dared to live free of charge here, they had to stand up for us. The Hailong Gang just collects money and doesn't care about anything! Every month, just to honor their gang, I have to pay at least a thousand yuan for the meal. I refuse to accept the money, but they still insist on giving it. I give them more every time. I'm not greedy for the money, I just want to be fair to them. Without them, we people wouldn't dare to say that we would eat chaffy vegetables, but we really feel like this every day when we open our eyes. I owe someone a debt, so I have to work hard from dawn to dusk. Brother Hua Yan, this is it.??! "The boss gave a thumbs up. He seemed to think that this was not enough to express his emotions, so he stretched out his other hand and raised it up! Lin Jing suddenly felt that something was wrong with him. This boss could tell that it was true. I¡¯m digging my heart out to say good things for Hua Yan! ¡°Boss, I¡¯d like to toast you. " Lin Jing picked up the wine. The boss finished the drink in one gulp and said: "Really, Miss Lin, I'm not speaking for Brother Huayan, he really is this! "Thumbs up again, the boss couldn't understand his resentment. He stood up and shouted to the other food stalls next to him, "Tell me, what do you think of Brother Huayan? ! " When the food stall bosses heard this shouting, they all stopped what they were doing and shouted: "Brother Huayan is this! "In an instant, more than a dozen thumbs were raised in different positions. Although they were a little far apart, Lin Jing couldn't see clearly, but the group of people held their chests high, and she didn't know what Hua Yan had given. What a benefit to them, but when Hua Yan was mentioned, they seemed to become proud.
