"Yang Ming, why is it him again?" Black Widow muttered to herself, "I have fought against him before, but I didn't think he was very powerful."
Have played against each other? Heishu and Fengdao were taken aback, did their boss fight Yang Ming? But thinking of Black Widow's kung fu is super scary, in her opinion, it's normal that Yang Ming is not very good.
"How about this, you should investigate Wu Ming's whereabouts as soon as possible to see if he is in the hands of Bao Sanli." The black widow ordered: "But that Yang Ming, try not to confront him head-on, and it is best not to have a confrontation with him." What a conflict."
"Yes!" Black Rat and Sharp Blade replied.
After the two left, the black widow sighed quietly and said, "There's only so much I can do."
He was extremely busy the past few days, and it was two days before the Chinese New Year, but Yang Ming had nothing to do. I'm bored in my free time, so I spend every day with Li Qiang and the others, teaching them some kung fu and training methods.
These people had a good foundation, so they improved very fast, it can be said that they were faster than Yang Ming at that time, which made Yang Ming feel a little ashamed. But thinking that these people were his apprentices, Yang Ming felt quite balanced.
There is one thing about Yang Ming that they will never be able to match, and that is eyesight. Yang Ming can accurately hit a target far away with a dagger, but these people can't do it, they are far from accurate.
They are making progress, and Yang Ming is also making progress. Therefore, if you want to catch up with Yang Ming, you can't catch up without flattery, not to mention that Yang Ming didn't teach them all his skills. It's not that Yang Ming is stingy, it's just that he is still the apprentice of the King of Assassins, and without Fang Tian's permission, it's a bit inappropriate to teach others things casually.
Since this period of time, the business of Yang Dashan's Tianjiao Entertainment City has been booming, but there have been many corresponding problems. Yang Dashan has never opened a similar entertainment place before, and the daily food stocking is not well controlled, resulting in a large number of waste.
Moreover, Yang Dashan is very face-saving, so there are a lot of free bills in the entertainment city every day. The seemingly hot business scene is actually not making money at all. Excluding obsolete and personnel expenses, even the balance of payments cannot be reached.
I thought it would be fine if this situation lasted for a while, but many people are not enough to take advantage of it. After getting the benefit once, they come back for the second time, and these people think that Yang Dashan's family is not bad at all. One, but Yang Dashan can't say some things because of his face. What he said is nice, and he is here to cheer you up.
But there were too many people who were free of charge, so Yang Dashan began to complain, and in the end he could only lower his face and say that he would give a 50% discount to the cost price. collect money?
But if you take the money, just take the money, it's not expensive, but it's much cheaper than other places. But in contrast, some people did not come. But the cost price is not good. The entertainment city is so big every day, but it costs more. If you don’t make money, you will lose money. There is no way, Yang Dashan has to cancel the 50% discount policy and change it to 10%.
As a result, those people who used to eat here all day will immediately blow up the temple. We are all your good buddies and friends, and coming to eat here is to give you face and praise you! You said that you can just charge a cost, but you still want to make money? Did the money go to your own head? Are you going a little too far?
For the same price, where should we eat? Where is it not for fun? Why did I come to you? As soon as these people got angry, most of them left immediately, and nowhere did they spread the word that Yang Dashan was not authentic, that he was crazy about money, and he actually made friends with him. Although Bao Sanli has a lot of weight in the underworld, his words are formidable, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop these people from crooking their lips occasionally!
The emperors in the past couldn't control what the people said, let alone violence.
Therefore, those who felt that Yang Dashan was not authentic began to publicize in their small circles of friends: "Let me tell you, you don't want to go to that Tianjiao Entertainment City in Yang Dashan..."
"Why, isn't Yang Dashan very familiar with you?"
"As for why, let me tell you in a low voice, don't tell others! Yang Dashan is not authentic, you say I know him very well, we are buddies, go to him for dinner, you can't avoid it Forget it, you can charge a cost price, but he only gave a 10% discount, the same as other customers! Let's stop talking to this kind of profit-seeking person!"
As a result, everyone nodded one after another. The reputation of Yang Dashan's Tianjiao Entertainment City was getting worse and worse. At the beginning, he couldn't see anything, but after a long time, the business fell a lot.
Business is like this. The hotter it is, the more people will come, because people who have never been here will watch it. If it is so hot here, it must be good, so I came here. But if you are deserted, people who come here will think about it. It must be bad for this house to be deserted, so don't go there.
Yang Dashan began to feel distressed, but he couldn't do anything about it. He thought that after the new year, there would be more people out for dinner and entertainment during the Spring Festival, and maybe the business would be better.
The annual festive day has finally arrived. January 25, 2008, today is New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Yang Ming's family took a taxi to Chen Mengyan's house. Before, the parents of the two families have contacted each other countless times by phone, and they are very familiar with each other, and they don't feel that they are separated when they meet.
Instead, looking at the gift in Yang Ming's hand, Fade Chen gave him a brainstorm and said, "You boy, you still brought something with you when you come to Uncle Chen's place!"
"Isn't this the white wine that I brought? My dad said that you two will be killed in a while!" Yang Ming laughed.
"Ha, okay. When I haven't stopped this year, it's so easy to take a vacation. I have to drink to my heart's content today!" Fade Chen looked at Yang Dahai who followed Yang Ming into the door and said, "Lao Yang, let's The two have been friends for a long time!"
"Brother Chen..." Fade Chen was one year older than Dahai Yang, so he thought it would be more polite to call him Brother Chen.
"Brother Chen, I call you Lao Yang and you call me Lao Chen, it's over, making it so serious." Fade Chen laughed.
"This is my brother and sister, they look really young." Chen's mother also said to Yang's mother with a smile.
Because the two families are very satisfied with the two children being together, the atmosphere is also very harmonious, and there is no phenomenon of one party sarcasm and sarcasm.
However, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan did not show any excessive intimacy, they just nodded at each other. After all, the parents of both sides are there, even if they miss each other, they can't go too far.
"Old Yang, younger siblings, sit in the room. Mengyan and her mother and I just got up and are posting couplets!" Fade Chen said, "I said that you can just buy two couplets, but my old mother-in-law won't allow it." Buy it, but you have to write it yourself, the old lady is too versatile, no, I wrote a few more copies, and you can take it back and paste it when the time comes."
"Then thank the old lady for me!" Yang Dashan said quickly. In Chen Mengyan's house, Yang Dashan felt that he had gained unprecedented respect. I am a worker in the factory, and I have to speak in a low voice when talking to the section chief, but Chen Fei is a deputy director-level cadre, and he is also kind to me!
Fade Chen and Mother Chen went to post couplets, and Yang Dahai and Mother Yang also went to help, but only Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were left in the living room.
"Miss me?" Yang Ming asked.
"No..." Chen Mengyan glanced at the adults pasting the couplets in the kitchen, and then said.
"Hey, don't believe me." Yang Ming smiled and put his arms around Chen Mengyan's shoulders, startling Chen Mengyan.
"What are you doing? They're all over there!" Chen Mengyan's eyes widened.
"Then what's the matter, I've met both parents, what can I do if I make out." Yang Ming said nonchalantly.
"Oh...let go..." Chen Mengyan saw her mother coming out of the kitchen as if she was going to find something in the bathroom.
"Ahem!" Chen's mother coughed twice. Although she knew that young people are more open-minded nowadays, she couldn't hug and hug in the living room, right? "Yang Ming, Mengyan, why don't you two go out for a stroll? By the way, Mengyan, don't you want to cut your hair? Let Yang Ming go with you!"
What Chen's mother said was quite subtle, Yang Ming still heard the hidden meaning in Chen's mother's words to tell them to avoid it, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He was too careless just now, and he didn't notice that Chen's mother came over .
"Okay..." Chen Mengyan blushed and nodded, and glared at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was also a little embarrassed, smiled dryly, stood up and said, "Then Aunt Chen, Meng Yan and I will go out first."
"Well, just come back at noon. How about this, we'll call you when the meal is ready." Mother Chen said.
"Mom, how about I help you?" Chen Mengyan asked.
"Forget it, the four people at the kitchen station are a bit crowded, so forget it." Mother Chen shook her head and said, "Go and cut your hair quickly. If you don't cut your hair today, you won't be able to cut it later. Your uncle is superstitious. Cut off your head and kill uncle!"
"Okay..." Chen Mengyan smiled helplessly. My brother-in-law is indeed very superstitious, and he reads the almanac every time he goes out. I remember last year, when my aunt's child had his head cut off in the first month, he scolded him a lot!
"It's all your fault!" After leaving the house, Chen Mengyan complained, "Can't you be more honest in my house?"
"I was not careful!" Yang Ming shrugged, "But don't you have to come out and cut your hair too!"
"These are two different things!" Chen Mengyan gave Yang Ming a blank look.
The two of them came to a hair salon near Chen Mengyan's home. Nowadays, hair salons like to have some strange names, such as hair cutting studio, hair beauty field and so on.
There are a lot of people who come to have their hair cut today. It seems that Chen Mengyan's uncle's family is not the only ones who are superstitious.
"Huh? Chen Mengyan?" Upon entering the hair room, a young man on the sofa immediately greeted him in surprise.
"Li Yixun?" Chen Mengyan was also taken aback, looking at the young man on the sofa in surprise: "What a coincidence?"
"Yeah, what a coincidence, this is...?" Li Yixun stood up and asked Yang Ming who was beside Chen Mengyan.
"Hello, I'm Chen Mengyan's boyfriend, Yang Ming." Yang Ming didn't know what this young man was doing, nor did he know what kind of relationship he had with Chen Mengyan, so don't say anything inappropriate for this guy, Yang Ming had no choice but to declare his sovereignty first.
"Oh?" Li Yixun was taken aback, then looked at Yang Ming and then at Chen Mengyan, and then said with a smile: "Ha, hello! Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Yixun, and I am Chen Mengyan's junior high school classmate. We've been at the same table, and our relationship is not bad...Of course, don't get me wrong, it's just an ordinary friendship!"
"Hehe, hello." Yang Ming looked at Li Yixun suspiciously, and nodded to him. Who knows if what this kid said is true or not?
"Are you cutting your hair here too?" Chen Mengyan looked at Li Yixun and asked.
"No, I'm here with someone else..." Li Yixun smiled wryly and pouted at a seat not far away.
"Girlfriend?" Chen Mengyan glanced over there and asked.
"It's fine, I'm just a suitor at the moment..." Li Yixun shook his head.
Yang Ming didn't pay attention to his girlfriend, she was far away and her back was still facing here. Yang Ming didn't use his abilities either, so he couldn't see clearly.
"Hehe, isn't it? Then you have to work hard!" Chen Mengyan teased. Obviously, the relationship between the two people was good, so they didn't have much difference.
"Hey... It's hard to say..." Li Yixun said helplessly.
"Sir, miss, do you want to cut your hair?" A waiter who was talking came over and said to Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan.
"She cut it, I came with her." Yang Ming pointed to Chen Mengyan and said.
"Then please come with me." The waiter said to Chen Mengyan: "There is just a spot over there."
"I'm going to cut my hair first, we'll talk when I have time." Chen Mengyan nodded to Li Yixun and left with the waiter.
Seeing that this guy was not his rival in love, Yang Ming became less wary and sat beside him.
"Brother, you are awesome!" After Chen Mengyan left, Li Yixun immediately began to warm up to Yang Ming.
"What's wrong with me?" Yang Ming was a little puzzled.
"Chen Mengyan, you have chased down all the belles of our junior high school, bro, you must have something unique, right?" Li Yixun looked at Yang Ming enviously and asked, "Can you teach me two tricks?"
"This... Meng Yan and I are classmates in high school... Maybe we have been in love for a long time..." Yang Ming is unwilling to tell others about his relationship history, this kind of thing belongs to personal privacy.
"That's not true. In junior high school, there were many people who pursued Chen Mengyan. Why didn't they fall in love for a long time? Brother, you must have something unique!" Li Yixun patted Yang Ming on the shoulder and said.
Yang Ming glanced at him sideways and thought, I'm not familiar with you, am I? Isn't it a little unreasonable for you and me to inquire about my private affairs with hands-on hands?
"Actually, it's nothing..." Yang Ming didn't want to talk to him, so he said perfunctorily.
Unexpectedly, Li Yixun didn't know it, and continued to ask for advice brazenly: "Brother, you can't do this, my relationship with Chen Mengyan is pretty good, isn't her friend also your friend? You just teach him how to deal with it. Hire it!"
"It's not that I don't teach you, it's that I have nothing to teach you!" Yang Ming said, frowning a little annoyed by his question.
"No, are you unwilling to teach?" Li Yixun said: "Don't worry, brother, I have no competition with you. Although Chen Mengyan is as beautiful as a fairy, if I don't call her, I won't poach your corner. of!"
"..." Yang Ming was speechless, wondering how could there be such a big-faced person in this world? I'm afraid what's the matter with you digging? Dig if you have the ability? But Yang Ming couldn't say these words, lest they reach Chen Mengyan's ears.
"Brother, you won't be like that?" Li Yixun saw that Yang Ming didn't speak, and thought he was moved by him, so he continued: "Just remind me, buddy, I promise I will be grateful! The sea of the East China Sea The Xiange is opened by my family, I will give you a VIP card, you can enjoy three free bills every year!"
After speaking, Li Yixun took out a VIP card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Ming.
"Oh?" Yang Ming took the VIP card and glanced at it, Haixian Pavilion? What kind of bird thing is that? Yang Ming hadn't even heard of it, but he was really annoyed by Li Yixun's ink marks, so he said nonsense: "I can teach you, but you have to tell me who you want to chase first, right? The simple situation of people tells me that, as you know, everyone is different, and the pursuit methods are also different.”
"That's, that's..." Li Yixun thought that the VIP card had an effect, so he hurriedly said, "Dude, let me tell you, I'll chase this girl. But she's so cute, her family doesn't live here, and she goes to college here alone, and I've been chasing her for a semester, and it hasn't worked out yet!"
"You belong to pestering her all day now?" Yang Ming asked.
"Yeah, I think she's annoying me a bit, what should I do, but if I ask her out normally, she won't come out!" Li Yixun said with a sad face.
"That's it..." Yang Ming didn't think about it at all, and said casually, "Then does her family have any money?"
"Her family?" Li Yixun said in astonishment: "I don't know about this, my family has money, but I don't care if her family has money..."
"Whoever asks if you don't care anymore, I'll ask you if her family has any money... In other words, how much living expenses can she have a month?" Yang Ming waved his hand and said.
"This... probably more than a thousand..." Li Yixun scratched his scalp and said.
"Don't guess, how much it is, this is very important!" Yang Ming said.
"Ah?" Li Yixun was a little confused: "It doesn't seem to have much to do with it, does it?"
"Why not? Do you want to learn?" Yang Ming glared and said, "If you don't want to learn, just drop it."
"Think, think, brother, don't be angry, I think her usual expenses should be around one thousand!" Li Yixun said quickly.
"About one thousand, right?" Yang Ming nodded and said, "Then let me teach you a way. Aren't you pestering her now? My way can make the current situation just the opposite!"
"On the contrary?" Li Yixun wondered, "How is it the opposite? You mean to let her pester me? Is this possible?"
"It's possible, why is it impossible? You follow the method I said, and I guarantee that you will succeed in no time!" Yang Ming said.
"Brother, what's the best trick, and I hope you can give me some pointers?" Li Yixun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"That's right, my trick is to let her borrow money!" Yang Ming said in a startling way.
"What?" Li Yixun opened his mouth wide, looked at Yang Ming stupidly, and said after a while, "I don't care if she borrows money? My family is so rich, why do I care what she borrows money for?"
"There are many reasons for borrowing money, such as your family's economic control on you, or your friend is sick and needs money urgently, etc. It depends on how you say it!" Yang Ming explained: "Besides, you don't care if she borrows money." For money, you must find out how much her monthly living expenses are, and then you must borrow it all at once, and don't leave a cent to her!"
"And then..." Although Li Yixun was confused, he didn't dare to question easily, so he had to ask cautiously.
"Then? Then you disappear, don't look for her again." Yang Ming said firmly.
"Disappear?" Li Yixun said: "I disappeared after I borrowed the money? Isn't that a liar? Besides, I borrowed all her money, how can she live?"
"Why don't you say you're stupid, I don't even bother to point you out!" Yang Ming cocked his mouth.
"Brother, I admit that I'm stupid, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ask you..." Li Yixun said, "Just tell me what's going on?"
"Look, you borrowed all her living expenses, so she must have a problem with eating and living?" Yang Ming asked back.
"That's right, that's what I'm worried about!" Li Yixun nodded and said.
"You still don't understand? You're an idiot!" Yang Ming shook his head and said, "She has no money to use, so naturally she has to ask you, the creditor, for money, right? If you don't look for her, this time she must take the initiative to look for you, you If you don't pay her back, she will have to rely on you all day long to ask you for money..."
"That's right!" Li Yixun slapped his thigh and said, "It's true! But, isn't this trick a bit too much? It's almost rascal?"
"What do you rely on to pick up girls?" Yang Ming asked angrily as he rolled his eyes.
"Thick-skinned!" Li Yixun said without thinking.
"Then it's over, winner and loser, when you get the beauty back, who cares what method you use to catch her?" Yang Ming said disdainfully.
"Yes! That's right, brother, I admire it! It's a brilliant move. I have been taught today. Thank you so much. I will go to Donghai another day. My brother will treat you to a big meal!" Li Yixun said excitedly.
"Oh, let's talk about it then." Yang Ming waved his hand, the trick just now was completely random, if it succeeds, it would be hell. However, it is not ruled out that a blind cat encounters a dead mouse. Unexpectedly, this Li Yixun is like a treasure.
Yang Ming ran the train with his mouth full, and was annoyed by Li Yixun's questioning, so he came up with such a method casually. Li Yixun was so excited, he was probably planning a strategy right now.
"Hey...wait for me..." Li Yixun stood up suddenly and ran towards the door. It turned out that the girl he had been waiting for had finished cutting her hair and was about to check out and leave. They didn't even look at Li Yixun.
Yang Ming shook his head, this Li Yixun has little hope. Even ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, the relationship is not so tense, right? Well, this girl looks familiar, doesn't she?
"Wang Xiaoyan?" Yang Ming blurted out.
"Yang Ming?" Wang Xiaoyan turned her head following the voice and saw Yang Ming.
"You...know each other?" Li Yixun looked at Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming in confusion.
"It has nothing to do with you, right?" Wang Xiaoyan didn't save Li Yi at all.
Yang Ming smiled wryly, this is a little sister! Li Yixun, are you too weak? A little girl can't handle it?
"Um... is Zhao Ying back?" Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan had some misunderstandings before, so they were a little embarrassed after meeting, so they changed the subject.
"Not yet... if it's okay, I'll go first..." Wang Xiaoyan looked at Yang Ming, gritted her teeth secretly, and took advantage of herself. If it wasn't for Zhao Ying, she would have settled with him a long time ago, hum, forget you Lucky boy!
"Then let's go first, Yang Ming!" Seeing that Wang Xiaoyan was about to leave, Li Yixun quickly chased after her, and said to Yang Ming as he walked, "Say something for me and Chen Mengyan..."
"En..." Yang Ming waved his hand, thinking, this annoying guy is finally gone! But this guy is too tasteless, right? Actually pursuing a little sister?
Chen Mengyan just trimmed her hair, not cut it, so it didn't take long to get it done, just to enjoy the joy of the New Year.
Yang Ming paid the money, and Chen Mengyan didn't stop her. The relationship between the two of them now doesn't need to be so clear.
"Li Yixun left?" Chen Mengyan asked.
"Let's go, let me tell you something." Yang Ming nodded.
"Why did you talk like that just now?" Chen Mengyan was a little dissatisfied with Yang Ming's actions just now: "Li Yixun and I are classmates in junior high school, and there is no other relationship!"
"Hey... Aren't I afraid that this guy wants to get your idea..." Yang Ming laughed.
"Come on, it doesn't matter how popular you think I am..." Chen Mengyan gave Yang Ming a white look.
"Why are you unpopular? Don't you know? Our school's bbs has a ranking list of school beauty, and you are on the list!" Yang Ming said.
"It's all done by boring people..." Chen Mengyan also heard people in the same dormitory talk about it, but she didn't care. If she pays attention, she will find that Lin Zhiyun is also on the list.
"What are you going to do now?" Yang Ming looked at the time, it was still early, and going back to Chen Mengyan's house would probably add to the chaos, the adults were too busy arranging food, so they wouldn't be needed.
"I don't know either, let's go for a walk..." Chen Mengyan suggested, "We haven't been shopping for a while."
"Then let's go." Yang Ming nodded.
The two walked hand in hand along the street, and the shops on both sides were full of Chinese New Year festivities, decorated with lights and festoons. The shopping from store to store was not for buying goods, the two of them just enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
At some point, snow fell in the sky. Like a child, Chen Mengyan looked at the snowflakes falling on her scarf very excitedly.
"Heh, when I was young, I especially liked snow. When it snowed, I liked to lie on the window and watch the snowflakes outside..." Chen Mengyan said with emotion, "I never thought that it would become so big in a blink of an eye..."
"Yeah, I'm almost someone else's wife... Your child is almost like you lying on the window to watch the snowflakes..." Yang Ming laughed.
"I hate it, what are you talking about?" Chen Mengyan said angrily, "People recall things from their childhood, but you just add to the chaos."
"Just kidding..." Yang Ming took Chen Mengyan's hand: "Then let me tell you something about my childhood...When I was young, every time I saw snow, I liked to step on the snow...According to a certain Step on them in order, and after stepping out, it's like a wheel rolling over, it's very neat..."
"Hehe, I've played it too..." Chen Mengyan smiled happily... The two of them recalled their childhood fun, from primary school to junior high school...
"Yang Ming, you said Su Ya...what are you doing now?" Speaking of junior middle school, Chen Mengyan couldn't help but think of Su Ya again. Although it was disappointing to mention it, Chen Mengyan couldn't help asking curiously.
"I don't know..." Yang Ming sighed, and then said slowly: "Maybe, she is like the two of us, walking in the snow with her significant other..."
"I'm sorry..." Chen Mengyan felt a little sad when she saw Yang Ming, and regretted raising this question. The two of them were very happy just now.
"It's okay, the male college should be married and the female college should be married...it's nothing..." Yang Ming smiled wryly and shook his head.
Chen Mengyan also sighed lightly. It seems that Su Ya still has a place in Yang Ming's heart. Maybe, only time can change all this...
Unknowingly, the two of them actually walked to the seaside. The seaside in winter is very deserted, and the bitter sea breeze blows away the hair of the two of them...
"Su Ya and I have been here before." Yang Ming pointed to a stone tablet not far away.
"A date?" Chen Mengyan asked.
"Hehe, it's not like that, it's just that one day we left school early and we had nothing to do. We wanted to walk home together, but whoever thought it was, we didn't want to separate as soon as we chatted, just like what we did today. I just came here." Yang Ming shook his head: "Children, how do you know what a date is?"
"That can be regarded as a good memory..." Chen Mengyan was not jealous this time, there was no need to eat this kind of jealousy. Su Ya has disappeared from Yang Ming's life now, and it can only be counted as a good memory. How could Chen Mengyan be jealous with a memory?
"En..." Yang Ming nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look. I remember Su Ya and I engraved our names on it, I don't know if it's still there..."
"Okay..." Chen Mengyan nodded, although she felt uncomfortable, there was nothing she could do. Moreover, she is also a little curious, she is trying to understand Yang Ming's past. To love someone is to accept all of him, isn't it? Including his past and past.
When the two came to the stele, Yang Ming's sharp eyes quickly found his and Su Ya's names among countless names. Although the traces are very shallow, if you look closely, you can still see clearly.
"It's here!" Yang Ming pointed to the name on it and said.
"Destroying public property..." Chen Mengyan took a look, thought for a while, and vented the imbalance in her heart with these words. Yes, anyone who sees his lover's name appearing with another girl will feel uncomfortable.
"Have so many people engraved it... I'm not the only one... Well? What are you going to do?" Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan in surprise, and said, "Don't you say it's vandalism, why are you..."
