Chapter 317 Recruiting Champion Brother [Request for Full Order]
The house in front of me cannot be described as messy. It should be described as very messy, extremely messy, as messy as a garbage dump.
This will allow for more vivid expression.
It’s just that all this garbage is electronic waste. Since no one has classified it, it’s piled here and there, making it look particularly messy.
And then there's the man in the garbage dump, his hair is messy like a chicken coop, his beard is unkempt, and he's working in a weird position with a crouching position. All around him are scattered electronic wastes, which are obviously parts removed from scrap electrical appliances or second-hand electronic products. It looks as horrible as it can be.
To sum it up, there are only two words left: sloppy.
But this is not the reason why Lu Yang was shocked.
Lu Yang had seen the world. Before his rebirth, all those so-called masters on certain audio platforms were unkempt, with messy hair and untidy beards.
It seems that if you don’t do this, you are not worthy of being called a master.
If Lu Yang had just seen this situation, he would certainly not be shocked. What shocked him was that this person was actually Brother Champion.
And think about the former champion brother, although not as handsome as Edison Chen, he was also a handsome guy with a bad attitude. In addition, he was tall, neatly dressed, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He was a beast in human clothing, the type that young women were extremely fascinated by.
But the current champion brother...
Lu Yang subconsciously exclaimed: "Your legs?"
The champion brother in front of him clearly had problems with his legs. Although they were covered by trouser legs, the exposed part was obviously much smaller than that of a normal adult man, and was dull and wrinkled. He looked like a shrunk mummy. If he couldn't see the problem, then there was no need for Lu Yang to have these eyes.
A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
This guy has two fucking disabled legs!
Who did it?
The sloppy man who was working hard looked up blankly.
When he found that the door was open and Lu Yang at the door was looking at him in surprise.
He counted the electronic waste in fear and almost buried his head in it. He hugged his hands and said, "Don't hit me, I was wrong. I will never do this again. There are no VCRs or videotapes here. No... If you don't believe me, search for it."
It seemed like he had been beaten so often in the past that it had become a conditioned reflex.
Lu Yang had an expression on his face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and he didn't know whether he should retreat or go forward. After thinking about it, he just stood there and waved his hand back, signaling the young couple Gong Pingan and Sister Wei Shu not to come in yet.
Give people more things to prepare themselves for.
About a minute or two passed like this. Brother Guanjun held his head with his hands. After experiencing the initial fear, he found that no one came to hit him. Finally, he plucked up the courage and secretly glanced in Lu Yang's direction.
Once again, I took a look.
The third time, he took a closer look and finally saw it clearly. He hurriedly used his hands to support the ground and made his upper body as straight as possible.
Smoothed my hair too.
He also pulled at his wrinkled clothes.
He coughed, turned his body sideways to face Lu Yang, looked at the air in front of him and said, "It's you! Just now, that girl Manni ran to the back door crying miserably, and I thought it was some bad guy who knocked on the door. Ahem, Boss Lu, are you okay? I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Even though he is now a disabled person and has lived a decadent life for some time, when facing acquaintances, he still tries his best to appear more confident.
I don't want others to see that he is having a bad life, even if it is just an attempt to cover up one's own fault.
Lu Yang shook his head: "I came to see you, but I didn't expect Manni to be here too. I scared her instead. It's my fault."
Since others are unwilling to accept his sympathy, he will not say anything sympathetic.
If you really want to say it.
There is no need to ask again, you will know later how these two legs were broken.
Sure enough, when he saw that Lu Yang had stopped asking how his leg was broken and did not bring up his scars again, a hint of joy flashed across Brother Guanjun's face.
He cheered up and said, "A distinguished guest has arrived. Please take a seat. Please take a seat quickly!"
He took great pains to clear a stool not far from his body, and then pushed it towards Lu Yang with great effort.
Motioned Lu Yang to sit on it.
But this is already the limit. It is absolutely impossible to pour a cup of tea or something like that for the guest.
So he was very angry and shouted towards the back door: "Manny, Dumanny, you damn girl, where have you been hiding? Come out quickly and pour tea for the distinguished guest."
The voice just fell.
There was a "bang" sound behind the door. I couldn't tell whether it was a broom that fell or someone accidentally hit the wall.
About ten seconds passed.
With another "click", the back door was finally opened, and a dusty little head came in.
Du Manni rubbed her hands vigorously on her apron, not daring to look up at Lu Yang.
Like a kitten, he tiptoed to the corner and took out a kettle from the pile of electronic waste.
But her eyes were blank, and when she looked around, she found that there was no suitable cup.
I was so anxious that I almost wanted to cry.
Finally, he had no choice but to take out the enamel cup that he usually used to drink water from his apron pocket.
She carries this cup with her every day, and when she comes here, she dares not leave it behind.
Because just like she had just now, when she was preparing to pour tea for Lu Yang, she had a confused expression on her face and couldn't find a suitable cup.
But this still seemed a bit rude. She thought about it and was about to wipe the rim of the cup with her apron, but then she thought the apron was too dirty. In the end, she lifted up the apron, revealing her old cotton-padded jacket underneath. She then lifted up a corner of the old cotton-padded jacket, revealing the underwear she was wearing underneath.
It looked like she was about to pull out a corner of her underwear to wipe off the mark left on the rim of the enamel cup when she drank water.
This series of operations made Lu Yang's eyelids twitch.
"Okay, stop wiping it, that's it."
He doesn't even dislike it anymore.
Du Manni had no choice but to give up the next action, and continued to lower her head, bend her waist, open the stopper of the kettle, and pour a full cup of hot water into the enamel cup.
She held her hands and lowered her head as she walked towards Lu Yang. Lu Yang saw that the girl looked much more haggard and her hands were much rougher than a year ago.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
He stretched out his hands and took the enamel cup from the other person's hand.
"Thanks for your hard work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in front of him started crying again.
Lu Yang didn’t know what to say: No, I didn’t abandon you, why are you crying?
Looks so aggrieved.
Dumani raised her hand and wiped away the tears that were running from the corners of her eyes and onto her face like a string of pearls.
He covered his face again, turned his head away and turned away.
This would definitely look ugly, and she didn't want Boss Lu to see her like this.
The champion brother, who was shorter than both of them and had to lie on the ground with his hands to keep his body upright, suddenly realized.
He looked at Lu Yang, and then at Du Manni, whose tears seemed to be free.
Okay, something's happening!
He thought about it for a while, then looked at Lu Yang who was drinking water and said, "Boss Lu, I have to explain first. Manny doesn't live here. She just felt sorry for me. Look at my legs. They are broken. The bones are all shattered. I am a complete cripple. I can't even take care of myself now. If it weren't for Manny, she felt sorry for me and came to help me cook and occasionally wash clothes. I might have died a long time ago. She is a good person and a good girl."
As he spoke, he patted his numb legs and lifted up his trouser legs.
Sure enough, the part above the ankle hidden inside has shrunk even more severely.
Lu Yang frowned.
First of all, it was a bit puzzling. I didn't understand why this champion brother in front of me singled out this girl Dumani.
Besides, whether she is a good girl or not, what does it have to do with me?
Although from the bottom of his heart, Lu Yang was indeed very curious about what kind of relationship these two people had now. Were they living together? Or living together? Or living together? ? ?
Well, since there isn't one, that's problem solved.
Let's talk about the legs. They look a bit scary. If they continue to shrink like this without care or treatment, it may affect the upper part of the body.
For example, one night, Champion Brother will suddenly have a high fever, and there is no one to take care of him. If he is not discovered in time, by the morning, he may be cold and even his body may be stiff.
There's no hope.
Lu Yang said earnestly, "You'd better go to the hospital for your legs. Even if the treatment doesn't work, you should get more sun. You can't stay at home like this every day, especially since the sanitary conditions in your house are worrying and bacteria are breeding. You have to know that it may suddenly take your life."
"That's great."
Champion brother didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly: "In fact, I have wanted to die for a long time, but I just couldn't do it myself and couldn't muster up the courage. If these legs can really take my life, then let them do it."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth again, as if he remembered something.
His eyes were full of hatred.
Du Manni covered her face and cried, "It's all my fault. I hurt you and Scar Brother. Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu."
As she cried, she squatted down, covered her face with her hands, and buried her head between her legs.
It seems that only in this way can I live in my own world and not think about those things that once made me afraid, tremble, and shake like a nightmare.
It seemed that Dumani reminded Champion of his sad memories, but he was still a man after all and it was impossible for him to put all the blame on a woman.
He suppressed the grief in his heart and comforted her: "I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. You were working for me at the beginning. I have the reason and the obligation to ensure your safety."
He laughed at himself and said, "It's all my fault. I was too naive and took things for granted. I thought gangsters had to abide by rules and principles. But principles are bullshit, rules are bullshit too. The so-called agreement is meant to be torn up, and all loyalty is meant to be betrayed. I'm stupid. We've already torn our faces apart, but I still want to endure it. We're all here to make money, so why do we have to fight to the death?"
"But they just want me to die!"
"I never thought about reconciliation!"
"Look at my legs. They were hammered from the knee to the bone, breaking all the bones. If I hadn't been so strong and managed to survive, I would have been thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish."
He had a hysterical outburst.
Champion was already crying and snotting. He said with some regret, "I really deserve to die. I am useless, so what? It's a pity for Xiao Ba. He could have done nothing. He also had a share in the pirated VCR and tape business, but I was the one in charge and the other party was looking for me. He only needed to announce his withdrawal, or he didn't need to do anything and find a reason to sneak back to his hometown like everyone else. With the money he earned in these years, he might be able to live a life of ease."
"But Xiao Ba refused to do that. He used his life to exchange for all the other people, dead or alive. Even the pirated tape market in Shencheng was completely destroyed. I was the only one who was not arrested and imprisoned because I was only half alive and completely disabled."
As he spoke, he pulled his hair, which showed how much pain he was feeling at the moment.
But no one helped him.
What has happened, no one can change it.
Lu Yang didn't know how to comfort her.
He thought for a moment, and after careful consideration, he said, "Why don't you leave here? Leave this sad place."
Champion brother immediately stopped pulling his hair.
Dumani also cried and her voice became softer.
Of course they wanted to leave, but as a man with disabled legs, they had to use part of the money they earned in the past few years to treat his leg injuries and part of it to run businesses. They originally wanted to save Xiao Ba and see if he could avoid being shot, or even if he was sentenced to life imprisonment, but in the end, the money was spent and the person was gone.
One of them wanted to repay the favor, but because she offended someone, she even lost her job in the teahouse. Those hooligans who lost their way to make money in the underground pirated tape business tried every means to make trouble for them. If it weren't for her and him, who were both registered with the Municipal Bureau, and the hooligans were specially called over and warned, so they didn't dare to do anything too excessive, I'm afraid both of them might not be alive today.
Seeing their looks, Lu Yang seemed to be looking forward to it rather than being reluctant, so he simply said what he had just thought of: "Brother Guan Jun, you are a talented person. I hope you can cheer up. If you really want to leave Shencheng and live in a new world, I can help you. I can even try my best to treat your leg injury. I may not be able to restore it to the point where you can walk, but at least it will not accumulate on your life, so that your quality of life in the future can be improved sharply."
Without waiting for Champion to open his mouth.
Lu Yang continued, "Of course, this also has a price. I am a businessman and I will not do business at a loss. If you choose to let me help you, then you will have to work for me in the future. I am planning to open an electronics factory. We can discuss what to do specifically when the time comes."
"And you..."
Lu Yang looked at Du Manni again: "You are good at dealing with people, and you are suitable for public relations. If you also want to leave here and live somewhere else, I can give you a new job."
Dumani also opened her mouth.
Lu Yang raised his hand again, motioning her not to speak for now.
"Don't rush to answer me, and don't rush to agree or refuse. I will stay in Shencheng for a while. Think about it carefully. Then tell me the answer, and I will take you away."
