Chapter 15: There are so many tricks in the martial arts world!
That means I'm going to work as a warehouse supervisor at the Shixiawei branch of Yellow River Plastics.
He managed four permanent workers and was responsible for contacting the Chaozhou and Yongyi coolies who came to load and unload the goods.
Within the confines of the warehouse, this position carries considerable power.
Compared to Lin Yuanshan's original estimate, he secured a technical position.
Now, the warehouse dispatcher's salary and status are both higher than those of the front-line staff.
This kind of good thing would make anyone else extremely happy.
But for Lin Yuanshan, it only made him more wary.
According to Qiaoru, the loading and unloading of raw materials and goods at this factory were all handled by Chao Yongyi's laborers.
It was only HK$200. I don't even know how much of it Qiaoru gave to that wretched horse for tea.
With such a small amount of money, it's clearly not worth the effort that this worthless horse put in!
Of course, some gangsters are loyal, but most are only after money.
It is highly likely that one day in the future...
The person in charge of the Chao Yong Yi Shek Kip Mei would then ask me to use my position to do some shady things for him at the factory...
He nodded and smiled while his mind raced.
In the short time it took Lin Yuanshan to collect the business card, he had already calculated most of the potential problems that might arise from this matter.
"As expected of Sister Qiaoru, I knew it was the right decision to come to you for this!" Praising someone doesn't cost money. Lin Yuanshan took out his wallet, put the business card in, and openly showed off the only 1 yuan he had left: "By the way."
Sister Ru, you've really gone all the way in helping me. I brought HK$3000 with me to Hong Kong, and I've spent almost all of it in the last couple of days.
Could you please recommend a Chaozhou bank? I'd like to borrow some money for an emergency.
Qiaoru was a greeter and farewell hostess at Fengru Teahouse. The moment she entered, she could see out of the corner of her eye that Lin Yuanshan and the tall follower at the door had changed into new clothes.
Especially Lin Yuanshan, the suit he wore was not a cheap knock-off, it was definitely made of good fabric and by hand by a tailor.
In less than two days, this landlord spent 3000 yuan, which is quite an expense.
Thinking of this, Qiaoru rarely used a tone of advice: "Ayuan, it's not difficult to introduce you to a trustworthy bank."
The problem is, at this rate you're spending money...
Even if you can get a loan, can you repay it?
You should know how much this job pays in a month. Even if you have plans to borrow money from a bank later, interest will still be charged.
Lin Yuanshan raised his hand to interrupt Qiaoru, and casually switched to an expression of being wronged.
He called Little Rabbit over and told her and Iron Head how they encountered the mother and daughter yesterday, and how, out of kindness, they spent money to buy out the loan agreement from the lender.
Eight truths, one concealment, and one falsehood.
He said it to Qiaoru.
80% of the content is true: Yesterday, the gambling tycoon, using her daughter Xiaotu, tried to frame an innocent man by making him take the blame. While fleeing from her debts, she accidentally fell from the building.
10% of the content was kept secret: When the gambling tycoon fell from the building, she could still be saved. It was Lin Yuanshan who guided the three of them, including Lanya, to send her off on her final journey.
10% of the content is fake: the money to buy out Xiaotu's IOU was not 100 yuan, but rather his entire fortune from Hong Kong, totaling 2700 yuan.
"Sister Ru, Little Rabbit is right here. Why don't you ask her?" Lin Yuanshan pointed at Little Rabbit. "Isn't that true? We can't let a child lie like an adult!"
Qiaoru's ability to become the head waitress at Fengru Teahouse demonstrates her chivalrous spirit, characteristic of those who live the life of a江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world).
Coupled with the little rabbit's tragic experiences, it truly brings tears to the eyes of those who hear it and saddens those who are moved to tears.
She held the little rabbit's thin arms, her eyes slightly red, and asked, "Little sister, is this how it is?"
The little rabbit lowered its head in fear, avoiding Qiaoru's gaze.
When pressed further, she cautiously looked up and timidly said, "It's true. Yesterday, Brother Yuan gave all the money he had to those people."
This reaction...
Absolutely! It's accurate!
Abandoned by her biological mother and then adopted by a kind person, she should indeed be wary of strangers.
Poor little rabbit.
Respectable A Yuan!
Qiaoru hugged the little rabbit tightly and offered a few words of comfort upon hearing this.
Then, she opened her handbag, pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, and slammed them onto the coffee table.
"Sister Ru? What do you mean by that?"
"One thing at a time, I don't regret spending my entire fortune to buy Xiaotu's IOU." Lin Yuanshan blinked, looking at Qiaoru with feigned ignorance, "Now you're returning the two hundred yuan tea fee, are you trying to insult me?"
Qiaoru shook her head, took out her cigarette case, and pulled out a women's mint.
With a ding, Lin Yuanshan rubbed a small flame in his secondhand Zippo lighter, which he had bought from a pawnshop, and politely extended it to the chivalrous Ru.
Qiaoru leaned forward slightly and lit a cigarette by the flame.
Exhaling a plume of smoke, Qiaoru looked at Lin Yuanshan seriously: "A Yuan, although I, Aru, am just a teahouse girl, I am also a nominal member of the Hongmen under the Hongmen. I should have the loyalty of Hongmen sisters in times of emergency and help each other out."
I'm far less capable than you, yet you can throw around 2700 yuan so easily.
But I can still afford to give this child 200 yuan to buy some clothes and a red ribbon in his hair.
After saying that, Qiaoru stood up: "I won't introduce the bank to you. There are only three of you. If you're careful with the 200 yuan, it'll be enough to last until you get your salary next month."
After saying that, Qiaoru took Xiaotu's hand and asked her if she didn't want to come with her, and that she could arrange for her to become an apprentice at Fengru Teahouse.
As expected, Little Rabbit refused: "I want to be with Brother Yuan."
Unable to persuade her, Qiaoru could only warn Lin Yuanshan and Tietou before leaving that they were not allowed to bully children.
After Qiaoru and the other two came downstairs and left, Lin Yuanshan picked up the two hundred-yuan bills on the table: "Tsk, this impatient woman."
I hadn't even finished speaking. I was going to say, "If you really want to insult me, then give me more, and insult me more deeply. Really..."
"Young Master Yuan, that's enough. With just a few words, you swindled 200 yuan from someone!" Tie Tou, who had been holding back his anger, pointed at Xiao Tu with lingering fear: "You have no idea how nervous I was standing at the door just now!"
I'm worried that Little Rabbit won't be able to react quickly enough and won't be able to keep up with your acting.
"Shut up! As long as you hold your tongue, Little Rabbit can handle it!"
"Do you think everyone is as naive as you?" Lin Yuanshan said sternly, ruffling the little rabbit's hair. "Stay home and watch the house. Iron Head and I are going out to find some opportunities to make money."
A real man can't go a day without money!
The idea of fooling Qiaoru was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and the fact that the other party was willing to generously give money was an unexpected bonus.
In fact, even if the other party had remained indifferent just now, Lin Yuanshan had a backup plan.
If that doesn't work, go to Chao'an again and be imprisoned. Learn from Master Bai and use him as a scapegoat. Capitalize on Ercengdao's greed for the police's stolen goods and use this body to fool him again.
This means that if you try to take advantage of someone twice, there is a risk that your scheme will be exposed.
In Lin Yuanshan's view, taking that step was already a desperate move.
Taking Tie Tou downstairs, Lin Yuanshan first went to the grocery store to retrieve the rickshaw, and then bought a pack of 555 cigarettes.
I opened the packaging and kept two tubes.
Lin Yuanshan put the rest back into yesterday's empty cigarette box belonging to the governor and tossed it to Tie Tou.
After leaving the village, Lin Yuanshan got into the truck bed and instructed Tie Tou to head to the Yellow River Plastic Shixiawei Branch Factory according to the address on the business card.
