Chapter 444: Destitute
Career in Power - Chapter 444: Poverty
As the name suggests, the little monk has a bald head, but the only difference from the real monk is that there is no ring scar on the bald head.
He was around twenty-three or four years old. When Cockroach saw him, he was playing mahjong with a few men in a small grocery store. His eyes were even more protruding than the eye sockets, as if they were falling out of the eye sockets at any time.
The cockroach seemed to be very familiar with these people. He didn't say hello after entering the door. He pulled up a chair and sat next to the little monk. No one noticed that the little monk inadvertently frowned at this time.
After the card was dealt, the little monk said angrily to the cockroach: "You broom star, go away quickly, you are really unlucky."
The cockroach didn't take it seriously and said slowly: "I have the goods."
"What kind of stuff?" the little monk said without raising his head as he shuffled the cards with his hands.
"Hard goods." The cockroach said with a grin.
After hearing this, the little monk turned to look at the cockroach, pointed at the cockroach and said, "Be careful when you speak, the wind will flash your tongue."
"I don't dare to offend you, Brother Monk." Cockroach's tone softened, but his attitude was still not cowardly at all and full of confidence.
The little monk took another deep look at the cockroach, then pushed the cards and said to the three people playing cards together: "I won't play anymore. I have already lost more than 10,000 yuan."
He walked out with the cockroach, but did not leave the grocery store. Instead, he opened a very inconspicuous door, walked straight ahead, passed through a narrow alley, and came to a street. Then he bought clothes from a store.
Go through the shop, go up a creaking staircase, open a door and walk in. This is a tube building in a busy city.
After entering the house, the young monk looked outside along the curtains and found no suspicious persons. Then he turned around and said, "Where are your goods?" He was asking about cockroaches.
At this time, Lu Yan was standing opposite, with his back against the wall and very close to the door. Once attacked, this position could benefit both offense and defense. Lu Yan was still very careful. He couldn't do that to someone like Cockroach.
Trust, your own life is more important than anything else.
Cockroach turned around and pointed at Lu Yan and said, "The goods are on his body."
After glancing at the cockroach, Lu Yan calmly opened his briefcase, took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the catalog. Please read it."
The young monk had been staring at Lu Yan. At this time, he snatched the catalog and read it carefully.
There are a total of more than a dozen secret information listed in this directory. Just reading these titles makes the young monk take a breath and ask in surprise: "Who are you? How did you get this information?"
"My name is Lu Yan. I used to be a division-level cadre of the Xizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Later, my superiors planned to double-cross me, so I ran away." According to the situation arranged by Xi Zhangma in advance, Lu Yan gave a reasonable reason.
.
The young monk looked at him with interest, put down the catalog in his hand, and asked: "What price are you going to offer?"
Lu Yan said calmly: "No counter-offer, eight hundred thousand US dollars plus sending me safely to a foreign country, preferably Singapore. When I get there, I will pay the money and deliver the goods."
"Eight hundred thousand U.S. dollars?" The young monk weighed it in his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, I've taken this catalog. Naturally, someone else will evaluate the price of your goods. I really hope to give you a hand.
, Haha...it's just a help in times of need."
"Okay, thank you." Lu Yan shook hands with him.
Cockroach is a promiscuous person, so he is used to the etiquette and etiquette in official circles, so he quickly waved his hand and said: "What hand are you shaking? Let's go quickly."
The young monk walked in the front, and Lu Yan walked down behind the cockroach.
"Where do you live?" the cockroach said, looking at the streets with people coming and going.
"In the underground hotel on Ximen Street." Lu Yan had already checked into the house there in advance, just in case anyone asked about this.
Ximen Street is a slum street, and the situation there is more complicated. There are people from all walks of life. It is a good choice for an absconding official to live there, and it is difficult to be discovered. After sending Lu Yan to the hotel, Cockroach suddenly
Looking at the dirty little hotel, he said: "This place is too dirty and messy. I still have room at home, so why not stay at my house, but you have to pay me every day."
There's nothing scary about living in a cockroach's house. The key thing is why this guy can't do anything without money every time he talks? Lu Yan thinks he's crazy because of his poverty, and he doesn't know how Xi Zhangma found such a top-notch informant.
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I'm quite used to living here. Besides, I can't live here for more than a few days."
Ignoring Lu Yan's refusal, Cockroach helped Lu Yan put his things into a satchel as if Lu Yan had agreed to live in his house.
People who didn't know what was going on thought that the cockroach was kindly trying to help, but with the look in Lu Yan's eyes, he noticed that the cockroach's fingers were squeezing and stroking inside the bag. He knew at a glance that he was looking for money or something like that.
Lu Yan secretly watched, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It seemed that this cockroach was really a man who was short of money to the core.
In Lu Yan's life experience, he has never seen such poor people. Even in Sidaogou, where every household is impoverished. The local people need relief every year, but they are not as impoverished as cockroaches, who are so impatient to find money.
.
But the cockroach's body and face made Lu Yan unable to feel any sympathy for his poverty. He was a bad person who did not follow the right path, and his poverty was entirely his own fault.
Any man who is strong and strong just relies on hard work. As long as he works hard for a few years, he will not be so poor in this society. If he idles around all day and still attracts some fans, he is a conservative.
Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you can lose all your wealth.
No money was found in Lu Yan's satchel. Cockroach's face was very disappointed. He threw the satchel away and said, "You really have no money?"
"The living expenses are a little bit, but I didn't put it in my bag, what's the matter?" Lu Yan felt lazy in his heart and didn't want to deal with people like him.
"I'm just telling you, how can a corrupt official have no money? Which of the corrupt officials nowadays is not full of fat?" There was a smile on the cockroach's face, and the corners of his mouth opened, revealing white and yellow teeth, like
Looking at him like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered made Lu Yan feel very sick.
"Go and stay at my house. The conditions are much better than here, and you only need to give me a hundred yuan a day. You still have this little money, right?" Cockroach simply made his words clear.
"One hundred yuan, this is still a bit expensive, but I can accept it if you provide for me to eat and take a bath." Lu Yan did not readily agree to him, and started to bargain.
"Okay, okay, let's go as you say." The cockroach became a little impatient. After taking two steps away, he turned back and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your accommodation and meal money today."
Lu Yan opened his wallet and took out a red banknote. At this time, the cockroach's claws stretched out to snatch the wallet, but Lu Yan avoided it and said angrily: "You are trying to rob money, like this
Who dares to live in your house because they are afraid that you will kill yourself for money."
The cockroach was very thick-skinned. When someone found out, he still salivated and said: "Give me one more, just one, just think of it as a prepayment for tomorrow, and don't you still have money for bathing and eating?"
After thinking about it, Lu Yan shook his head and said, "No, maybe I will leave tomorrow."
