"I'm all right. Go back to sleep." I said softly.
Adelaide gently put the gun on the table, "can you shoot?"
"I can't. I've never seen a real gun."
"Shall I teach you how to shoot? Then I'll give you this gun. Manila is very chaotic, and occasionally there are attacks against Chinese people. You can keep a gun by your side to defend yourself and bring you a sense of security. " Aduh said.
"No, I don't need it." I shook my head.
"Don't resist. You think it's a murder weapon. In fact, it's not like this. Whether a tool is a murder weapon depends on the person who uses it. A kitchen knife is used to cut vegetables, but some people also use it to kill people. A gun can kill people. But if you use it for self-defense, there's nothing wrong with it. It's better for you to take something for self-defense in such an environment."
I couldn't stand Adelaide's persuasion. Finally, I accepted the small pistol he gave me. Of course, I will definitely give it back to him before I drive Manila. I won't bring it back to my country, because it's illegal to hold a gun without a license in my country.
The next day, Adelaide took me out to sea and had a good time. This is a country of thousand islands. The country itself is made up of large and small islands. The sea view is very beautiful. Adelaide also took me to an uninhabited island to shoot a few shots. Although I missed a long distance, I still felt very enjoyable.
In the next few days, I deliberately didn't want to pay attention to the situation in Zhuhai. I only followed Adelaide to eat, drink and play every day. Sometimes I couldn't sleep at night, so I used alcohol to anesthetize myself and then went to sleep.
After a week, I feel a little tired.
I'm tired of playing. After eating delicious food and drinking good wine, I began to feel that I was too tired. Except for the silver gun, I had to be very skilled first, and I had two kilograms of meat. In a week, I was almost the same as a walking corpse. I had no harvest. I was totally wasting my life.
You know, I used to get up at 6 o'clock and drive to work after morning exercises. But now I don't have morning exercises. I sleep until 10 o'clock every day and get up in a daze. Then I start to play.
If it goes on like this, I feel like I'm going to waste.
When aduh offered to take me out to sea again, I refused.
"What's the matter? What's wrong with me? " Aduh's face was confused.
"No, you're doing well, but I don't want to play anymore."
"Why is that?" Aduh doesn't understand.
"Aduh, I think if I continue to play like this, I will be useless. I have nothing to do but consume my limited life." I said in dismay.
"So what? Life is just for consumption. If you don't consume it, you can't save it, you can't save it. From the beginning of birth, people are dying, which is irreversible." Aduh said.
"But it's too easy to live like this. I really don't think I can. I don't want to go on like this. If I go on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the state I used to be when I get rid of the crime."
Aduh said he didn't understand, "I've been living like this all the time, and I have no problem."
"I'm different from you. You were born with a golden key. Even if you don't have to work, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I can't. I have to work, or I won't have any value."
My words made the foreigner very dissatisfied, "I also work, and I'm the second ancestor who can only eat and drink."
I knew that I was wrong and apologized, "I don't mean that. I mean there are differences between us, and you are also working now. Isn't the company that runs the casinos also bought by you? This is your business and your job. You play while you work, but I'm just waiting to die."
"What do you want now? You can't go back to work in Zhuhai, right? If you go back now, isn't that tantamount to throwing yourself into the net? "
In fact, I'm just annoyed. I don't know what to do.
Adetuo thought for a moment, "well, how about we do business together?"
I looked at him and didn't understand what he meant.
"You pay five million dollars. I'll sell you half of the shares of this casino. We'll run it together. What do you think? If this casino has half of you, you can work here and never feel like you're wasting your time. " Aduh said.
I shook my head and refused, "no, first of all, I don't know how to run casinos. I can't get involved at all. Besides, this is your business. Why do you give me half of it? I don't want it."
"I don't give it to you for free. I want you to pay for shares. In this way, we will become partners and share risks. Isn't that good? "
"But now I don't have any money. All my money is in Zhuhai. I can't get five million dollars."
"You can owe it. You have a company in Zhuhai. Five million dollars is nothing to you. In fact, running a casino is no different from other businesses. They are all the same. To attract customers and guide them to consume, we are not engaged in pyramid selling.",. It's deceiving. We really provide them with a gambling platform to enjoy themselves here. Therefore, it's a service industry to open casinos. It's not as dirty as you think. "But I still shook my head, "I know that making money in this business is very fast, but I'm still not interested. Don't persuade me, I won't take a share."
"What do you want? What do you want me to do to make you happy? " Aduh said.
I can't answer because I don't know what I'm in. I really don't know what I can do.
"Well, there is still a lack of a vice president here. You can be the vice president. Every day you work with them, and then I will give you salary and bonus. Then you work four days a day, rest for three days, and play with me. In this way, you can learn the operation mode of the casino, reflect your own value, don't feel that you owe me, and keep your working condition, OK? ”
"I can't, I can't do it."
Adelaide was so anxious, "what are you going to do? Shall I send you back to Zhuhai? "
It's possible to go back. After thinking about it, I said I'd better do it.
After working in Adelaide's company for a week, I'm getting familiar with it.
Because most of the gamblers received by the company are from the mainland, the staff here are mainly from the mainland. Many of my colleagues are from the mainland. I don't feel strange when I get along with them every day.
When I got back to work, I was in a good mood. When I was going to work that day, the following staff said that the external staff of the company would come to settle their monthly salary today. Let me help and pay them their salary.
I asked the staff what they meant by "external staff" and why there was a difference between external staff and internal staff.
The staff explained that the gambling industry is a complex industry, in which there are many factors that can not be standardized. For example, it is necessary to organize passenger flow, that is to say, it is necessary to go gambling. However, these people are not employees of the company, they just ask them to introduce people to gamble, so as to give them a commission.
And there are all kinds of people who come to gamble. Some people with black background will smash the game. If this happens, the company's security personnel are uncertain. They need some desperants to come to see the game, or some gamblers are red eyed, lose too much, and make trouble. At this time, they need those who watch the game to keep going, but many of them watch the game All of them are fugitives or invisible people. These people are so-called external employees.
I understood after listening, so I cooperated with the colleague in the finance department to help pay them.
Their salary is all in cash, not on the card, so they all wait outside and come in one by one to get the money.
When I got a name called Chen Qiming, I found that his salary was very high and he was the company of other spectators.
Because his salary is very high, I look at him a little more. I feel that I have met him somewhere, and I am familiar with him.
It's very hot in Manila, but he's wearing a hat with a long brim and a very low pressure. It doesn't seem to let people see his true face.
But his beard made me feel very familiar, so I called out, "Mr. Chen, have we met somewhere?"
He raised his head and looked at me with cold eyes and expressionless face.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, I am more sure that I have met this person.
My brain turned desperately, and then suddenly I remembered that this man was the moustache who went to my mother's house to urge usury! He is darker and thinner than before, but his beard is still there. Yes, it's him!
"It's you, it's you who killed my mother, right? I finally found you. You're hiding here! " Get him.
He was at a loss. "Who are you and what are you talking about?"
I have a deep impression on him because I have seen his video over and over again, but he certainly has no impression on me, because it has been several years.
"You've been in Zhushi, and you've forced usury in my family. Did you kill my mother?" I'm holding on to him.
He stared at me for a while, so you think of something, eyes floating, "you recognize the wrong person, I don't know what you're talking about."
His accent obviously has some Zhuhai accent, and he even wants to deny it!
When my colleagues saw that I was suddenly in trouble with the people below, they were at a loss. They picked up the phone as if they had called ad to report the incident.
"You let go of me, you've got the wrong person." He yanked my hand, put the money in his bag, stood up and was ready to leave.
Of course, I won't let him leave easily and catch him, "you can't leave, you make it clear, did you kill my mother?"
"I didn't, I don't know you, you let go, or I'll be rude to you!" He's a bit of a murderer.
"You don't want to leave if you don't make it clear today. After you killed my mother, you fled abroad and hid, didn't you? You bastard, why do you want to kill my mother? "
