Blondie saw this shocking scene from the other side of the road and quickly ran over to ask,"Boss, are you alright?"
Xiang Wentian shook his head speechlessly. He looked at the panic-stricken yellow-haired youth, who still had a youthful and ignorant look on his face. Although he wasn't much younger than him, he was his backbone at this moment. He couldn't be pessimistic and hopeless at this moment. He forced himself to calm down and said,"It's nothing. He's just a nouveau riche.”
As he spoke, he walked across the road with the blonde. He thought for a moment and said slowly,"Goldie, let's find a hotel to stay in tonight.”Looking at the blonde's expression, Xiang Wentian guessed that he knew what was going on. He pretended to be magnanimous and smiled." It's nothing. We still have food to eat for the time being. Don't worry." We still have a pair of hands. Can't we earn a living? I don't have to beg for food."
This was to prepare for the worst and also to encourage Goldie. He did not want to lose his confidence because of the little difficulties in front of him. The yellow-haired guy was still a little unwilling and probed,"Boss, why don't we go closer to the group and look for him? Maybe my uncle will appear there.”
"Forget it. If you want to look for him, you can look for him tomorrow. Let's call it a night. Look, our stomachs are protesting. It's time to feed him.”Xiang Wentian teased with the aura of a boss.
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was like blood, shining through the tall buildings on the road. The two of them looked like helpless masters. The two of them walked around the road and ordered two dishes, a soup and two bowls of rice from a small shop that didn't look very expensive. The two hungry young men wolfed down the food.
After finishing the bowl of rice, Xiang Wentian ordered another bowl. At this time, he seemed to have inadvertently noticed the disdain in the eyes of the young waiter who served him food. He was slightly shocked. Just now, he was only concerned about filling his stomach. He did not expect to negotiate with the boss beforehand. Now that he was almost done eating, what if the other party asked for an exorbitant price?
This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he was immediately attracted by the fragrant rice served by the waiter. Taking care of his stomach was the biggest problem. When the two of them were satisfied and burped, they called out to Wentian,"Boss, pay the bill", full of confidence.
The waiter came over and casually read,"The bill for the dishes and the meal is 105 yuan. If you round it up, give me 100 yuan."”
"What? A hundred dollars? Just these two dishes and one soup," the yellow-haired guy couldn't help but shout," Even if you kill a pig, it doesn't have to be so expensive!”
The blondie was shouting in a local dialect and his voice was loud. All the customers in the store looked over. The little girl understood and immediately said in a voice that was not inferior to the blonde,""What are you shouting for? Why don't you take a look at where you are? This is Shenzhou. Of course, things have to be expensive. I gave you a discount, but you still don't appreciate it.”
Xiang Wentian looked around and saw that there were unfamiliar faces all around him. Even those who were looking over were probably just watching a show. He could not count on them to speak up for him. He waved his hand and stopped the blonde hair. He calmly said,"Miss, Miss, can you bring me the menu that I just ate? Maybe there's a mistake.”
The meaning behind his words was, of course, that he would never believe that a meal like this would cost him and the blonde a third of their precious wealth. It was not worth it. If such a dish was placed in the most high-end restaurant in Sandao Town, it would cost at most 50 yuan, and the owner of the restaurant would still charge it according to the public bill. It was impossible for them to eat privately unless the restaurant did not want to continue operating.
The waiter didn't shout at him like he did at the blonde. Instead, he grinned and said,""Big brother, your words are still pleasing to the ears. If you don't believe me, you can just look at the bill. Why do you have to shout? Aren't we in the service industry just making a profit? How dare he lie to you customers?”
As he said that, he turned around and took a simple note from the counter. On it was written the dishes they ordered. The price was naturally written on the spot. In total, there was that much. He smiled bitterly in his heart. The other party had clearly schemed against the two of them, but he still had to smile and pay the bill. It was a hero's nature to not go back on his word.
After paying the bill and leaving, the blonde said indignantly,"Boss, the people in the restaurant clearly saw that we were foreigners, so they dared to bully us like this. How could a meal cost so much money?”
"Brother, do you know what this place is? A big city full of gold!" Even though he knew that the restaurant had scammed him, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it. Xiang Wentian patted Goldie's shoulder comfortingly and said," Don't say that you don't believe it when it's so much money. I'll believe it even if it's more money. Isn't it obvious that it already happened?”
The blonde looked at him in confusion. His expression seemed to tell his follower that there was nothing unbelievable happening in this big city. He was afraid that he didn't have the imagination to imagine it.
"Then, then, boss, what should we do next? We don't have much money left on us. How should we go over?”Thinking about how long he still had to walk, the blonde felt weak and looked at Boss habitually.
"Brother, you've heard of the saying,'when the boat comes to the bridgehead, it will cross naturally. The road behind will naturally have a way to go. For now, let's find a place to settle down, settle down, and then continue to look for things to do.”Xiang Wentian seemed to know how to survive in the outside world and said confidently.
When he said these words, Xiang Wentian knew that he was lying through his teeth. Who knew how he could live in the future? He could no longer count on that uncle-brother who had disappeared. If he wanted to take root in Shenzhou, he could only rely on himself. However, the two of them only had a little more than 200 yuan. How many days could they last?
However, at this time, the boss had to take out the boss's card. If the boss fell, how could the underlings have the confidence to follow him? Heroes only show their true colors in such extraordinary times! Xiang Wentian sighed inwardly.
After finding the street lamp, the two finally found a hotel at the entrance of a quiet alley. The price was slightly suitable for the two of them. It was called a hotel, but it seemed that the owner just wanted to live one day at a time. If it weren't for the sign at the entrance of the hotel, the two of them wouldn't have known that this narrow shop was actually a place for people to live.
It was a small shop, and it could only fit a front desk. Behind it was the corridor leading upstairs. They walked out from the back door, and there was no light. They groped the walls on both sides before they went upstairs. After taking a few turns, the two of them estimated that they were on the fourth floor. There was a small room with two bunk beds and a bedside table in the middle. There was no other space in the room.
It was unknown whether the sheets on the bed looked so white and yellowish because of the dim light, or if they were not clean in the first place. There was a washbasin under the bed for washing up, but he had to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to get water.
Xiang Wentian and Goldie tried their best to get rid of themselves, but their bodies and minds quickly relaxed when they touched the uncomfortable bed. With their boss as their reliance, they soon fell asleep and snored like thunder. Only Xiang Wentian, who had come to this strange city, struggled to fall asleep as he stared at the roof in the dark.
Life was an encyclopedia that could teach you a lot of knowledge that you couldn't learn from books. In the past, if someone had told him this, Xiang Wentian might have argued with them. There was a golden house in a book, and there was a beauty in a book. Half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world. A scholar did not go out and could know the world. Why should he put everything into practice? The facts along the way proved that there were too many things to learn in his life. The experience in life was enough for him to study for a lifetime.
