On this day, an uninvited guest came to Baiyun Hotel.
"Where is your boss? Go call your boss out!"
The waiter on the side felt very angry when he heard this arrogant tone, so he had no choice but to go find the boss.
Next to him, Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this voice. This accent was from Sijiucheng!
He quickly stepped forward to say hello, "Hey, buddy, are you here from Sijiucheng?" At the same time, he also looked at this young man. He was neither tall nor short, with an oval face and a thin body. He was dressed in familiar youth clothes.
Nie Qing sneered, "Who is your buddy? A waiter in a shop dares to come over and set porcelain. He can just wait and see where it's cool. What the hell."
Such ridicule made Li Hao's face turn red immediately, and he was extremely angry.
It is said that when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes will burst into tears. It is better here to just tell him to get out.
Even when I was in Sijiucheng, I wouldn't be so mean when I greeted strangers.
Li Hao clenched his fists tightly. If he didn't have to stay here to make a living, he would have to let this guy know why the flowers are so red!
Nie Qing looked over sideways and said sarcastically: "What are you looking at? What a piece of shit! How dare you look down on me when you do a job of serving others? You don't want to mess around anymore?"
Li Hao was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer. At this time, the shopkeeper walked out.
The shopkeeper held up the golden eyes on his face, looked at Nie Qing, and said with a smile: "What does this customer want from me?"
Nie Qing said in a serious tone: "I really have something I want to talk to you about."
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, but suddenly someone came to see him for something, and his accent was from Sijiucheng.
This was naturally a surprise to Li Hao, but it was a shock to the shopkeeper.
Because Li Hao was always a trouble, and now suddenly someone from Sijiu City came looking for him, it is very likely that trouble has come!
In the end, the store manager chose to agree, and raised his hand sideways to indicate, "Since there is something going on, let's talk inside."
Li Hao walked inside with his head held high. When he passed by, he glanced at Li Hao disdainfully.
Li Hao felt extremely aggrieved. If he hadn't lost his money, how could he be so angry? Even when he was digging manure in the factory, no one would dare to scratch him like this in person, but now he can only endure it.
Why should you be so angry when you can't even eat?
The interior reception room on the first floor.
After the innkeeper sat down, he asked straight to the point: "I don't know what you want to see me for." When he said this, he had an idea in his mind. During this period, the hotel was calm, and that was when Li Hao suddenly came here.
What's weird is that Nie Qing's attitude towards Li Hao just now was not very friendly.
Nie Qing didn't mince words, "Shopkeeper, don't you think there is something wrong with Li Hao? In fact, I was watching from the crowd when he came here on the first day."
The manager of the store suddenly tightened his grip, and someone really came to his door.
"I won't talk nonsense anymore. This man took money that he shouldn't have taken, and now he can't go back. He was originally helpless, but you suddenly accepted him as a waiter, but that made the master over there very unhappy.
Na!" Nie Qing said pretending to be authentic.
The shopkeeper winced and went through what happened before in his mind again.
From the beginning to the end, Li Hao never thought about getting that money back.
In fact, it's not that Li Hao doesn't look for it. He definitely doesn't dare to report this kind of thing to the police station. Not to mention that he doesn't know where the money was lost, he just knows that the money was stolen by that old Xing. Can Li Hao find the person?
Where to find the pickpocket on this train?
First of all, Li Hao cannot live on his own without money.
"Is he really helpless?"
"Of course you take it seriously." Nie Qing replied with certainty and advised, "Don't feel pressured by the store manager. He has already come here to work as a waiter. What background does he have? You just need to drive people away from the store.
Then this matter has nothing to do with you!"
It has nothing to do with me in the first place!
The shopkeeper complained in his heart, if he hadn't taken Li Hao in, what would he have done?
It's really nothing.
The money that was lost was not stolen by him!
Who is this person in front of me?
Feeling cruel, the shopkeeper immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll kick him out today."
Li Hao has been chased here. It is difficult to live a life and find a way out. Compared with him, Nie Qing is naturally more mysterious. Of course, the shopkeeper does not want to cause trouble and provoke an enemy.
Nie Qing nodded slightly, turned his eyes and said, "Shop manager, I have an unkind request, I don't know if it's convenient for me to ask."
If it's inconvenient, don't say it.
The shopkeeper held his golden eyes and said cautiously: "If it's just a matter of helping, forget it, I'm just a little old man and I don't have much ability."
Nie Qing smiled slightly and said, "You are joking, how can I make it difficult for you? I'm just asking about some news that everyone knows."
"Tell me about it." The shopkeeper didn't want to be too blunt, so he reluctantly agreed. If it didn't work, he would continue with the lake.
Nie Qing said thoughtfully, "I heard that many people go to sea to do business. I don't know what the situation is. You can count the hotels here. Maybe we can have some intersection in the future. I wonder if you can tell me.
speak."
The store manager looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I don't know much about this, but I have heard of a few people doing business here, and these people are easier to inquire about, such as the Chen family, the Liu family, and the Li family.
, Zheng family, you can find out just by asking when you get to the boundary."
"As for the situation over there, it's complicated. And if you ask me how to do business here, then I definitely don't know, otherwise I wouldn't run a small hotel here."
The shopkeeper's words were vague, but Nie Qing almost understood it, at least he had an idea in his mind.
"By the way, if I want to take a look there, do you have any tips? Can it be convenient?"
There is no reason to rely on mountains to eat mountains, and to rely on water to drink water. There is no reason to have the convenience of being next to the seaside. If you don’t think about getting rich, you have already seen this road to some extent even if you haven’t walked there.
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and rubbed his two fingers together.
Nie Qing smiled slightly when he saw this and nodded immediately.
After a while, Nie Qing left the hotel with satisfaction.
The hotel manager called Li Hao over.
"Store manager, are you looking for me?" With a gentle smile on his face, Li Hao nodded and hunched over, knowing his position very clearly.
The shopkeeper sat across from the tea table and seemed to be in a trance. He waited for more than ten seconds before speaking, "Please pack your things and leave today!"
Li Hao was very frightened when he heard this. Now he wants money but no money, no identity, and the hotel won't accept him. Where can he go?
"The shopkeeper..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the shopkeeper said directly, "I'm here for you! I really can't keep you here. If you lose something, you can call the police station to find it. If you have any questions, you can also tell the police station.
Don't make things difficult for me, an old man, okay?"
The expression on Li Hao's face froze. Originally, everything was fine when he left Sijiucheng that day. At that time, it was okay even if he lost his money. The worst he could do was to go back.
But if Xu Damao stopped him halfway, it would become an escape!
After getting on the train with trepidation, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now he couldn't go back.
As for the money that was lost, it was 10,000 yuan! There was no way he had that much money. How could he dare to say that?
Not to mention going to the police station, he was afraid that they were going to arrest him.
"Why."
The shopkeeper sighed, stood up, walked to Li Hao, and then took out ten dollars from his pocket, "Just think of it as borrowing this money from me. Don't say that I won't leave you a way to survive. As for what you gave me before."
If there is a reply to a letter written by a relative, I will keep it for you."
"Okay, take the money and leave." The shopkeeper waved his hand to chase people away.
Li Hao was trembling slightly. No matter how good he was as a waiter, it was still a job. As for making a living for himself, he was no longer rich.
When he was in Sijiucheng, he heard how some people made money here, but it really
Coming here, he heard more about how miserable those people were!
The shopkeeper stared at Li Hao with his cloudy eyes, and said with a cold tone, "No? Didn't you ask Shunzi how to go to the sea? Do you want me to chase people away?"
Li Hao's heart trembled, Shunzi? No wonder he got it out of his mouth so easily. Did they do it on purpose?
"Yes! Of course! Thank you, boss."
Li Hao hurriedly took the money. With these ten dollars, he would be better off. If he ran out of money, he would have no choice but to eat grass!
"Okay, go pack your things!"
After the shopkeeper dismissed Li Hao, he stood at the window. After a while, he looked through the window at Li Hao's leaving figure. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, "I finally left."
Originally, he planned to test Li Hao's true identity and quickly get rid of this trouble. Unexpectedly, Nie Qing would come over and explain the matter. A lost dog has nothing to fear.
However, just in case, he still gave Li Hao ten yuan, which was considered the most benevolent thing.
One afternoon a week later.
Central Pier.
This is a large port, which is fan-shaped and divided into many areas.
Larger cargo ships can also come directly from the more prosperous areas, and even use machinery for shipment. In some areas on both sides, there are mostly small boats, and most of them are done manually.
Because of the tides of the sea and the varying heights of ships, the port here is quite unique.
There is a platform at the top, which is generally not flooded at this height.
There are steps built below that extend into the sea layer by layer to ensure that ships can unload their cargo whenever they arrive.
In any case, manual labor is used to unload the ships, and the most that can be done is that the workers need to walk a few more steps.
At this time, it was low tide.
The blue-gray sea water washes against the gray cement steps, and the sea water becomes shallower and shallower every time.
A group of shirtless men were sweating profusely and running up and down the steps carrying sacks. The supervisor pointed at the goods with a cargo list and a wooden stick. There were also a group of men playing cards around a cargo box. The whole dock was buzzing with people.
After a while, a ten-meter-long cargo ship had been unloaded. Kudon Kudon's engine roared, and another cargo ship came over from the distance.
This is not a simple cargo ship. On top of a pile of cargo, there are men in ragged clothes carrying packages on their backs. Their faces are earth-colored, their eyes are dark, and some of them have black stains on their faces and hands, like a group of refugees.
"Come on, come on, get out of here. You are here, don't interfere with the unloading!"
The fat supervisor wearing a shirt and suit pants shouted loudly and had a very bad attitude.
"Who is that, Mazi! Pull them down quickly, don't delay unloading the ship, there are three more ships behind you! If the tide goes out later and the unloading is not finished, see how Brother Liu San will deal with you!"
As soon as these words came out, several people who were leisurely playing cards also looked over.
Among them, a strong man with arms thicker than other people's calves made a sign to the people beside him, raised his arm to reveal a green wolf head, and pointed in the direction of the ship, "Do it! Who dares to disobey and carry alone?"
Come out and teach me a lesson."
"Yes!" Several of his men raised their hands and strode toward the cargo ship. All the unloaders quickly stepped out of the way.
After some rough tugging, people who were supposed to take ten minutes to get off the boat were thrown off the boat in three minutes. A few unlucky guys even fell into the water. It was another round of hectic portage work.
Among those who smuggled here was Li Hao, who was kicked out of the hotel.
After a week of tossing and turning, he finally arrived at a place where he would no longer be unable to find a job because of his status and could start a new life.
He didn't trust the owner of Baiyun Hotel, so he wrote a letter to Director Li beforehand, explaining that he was coming to HK.
After settling down here for a while, he planned to write another letter to Director Li. As long as he had some money, not to mention getting rich, he could at least live a normal life.
Li Hao is in a bad mood
After observing anxiously, he walked towards the direction of the supervisor, "Brother, I was introduced by Brother Qi, and I said I came here to arrange work with you."
The supervisor frowned. He was busy directing and liquidating at the moment. How could he have time to take care of a fool?
"Get out! You didn't see me busy!" The supervisor cursed angrily, but he also made a gesture, raising his head in the direction of Mazi, and then roughly pushed Li Hao aside.
Li Hao was too angry to say anything. Although he didn't know how capable this man was, he had seen similar supervisors in Sijiu City.
If he dares to talk back, the people around him who are stronger than him will respond immediately, and then he will be in trouble.
Obediently coming to Mazi, Li Hao looked at the ordinary wolf head on the arm with a guilty conscience. He only felt that the man in front of him was too ferocious and terrifying. "Brother, I was introduced by Brother Qi. Is there anyone alive here?"
Dry?"
"Hehe, hehe, Brother Qi." Mazi sneered twice, raised his head and pursed his lips in front of him, "Are you blind? Aren't these people just working?"
Li Hao turned around and saw shirtless men carrying sacks to transport goods on the steps and platforms. Most of them were skinny, with only a few young and strong ones with full muscles. The same thing was their backs and faces.
, his chest seemed to be smeared with butter, and his expressionless face gave people an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.
Li Hao was very nervous, doing this kind of work? Can he bear it?
Just thinking about it.
Mazi stretched out his arm to push Li Hao aside and walked towards the fat supervisor.
At this time, the supervisor was talking to an imposing middle-aged man in a suit. After Mazi passed by, he also shouted, "Boss!"
The middle-aged man in a suit with medium-long hair and a calm and serious expression on his face told the two of them: "The goods are very close this time, so don't make any mistakes, especially at the warehouse.
Attention. Asako, take care of your subordinates, remember the rules of the warehouse, and never smoke in the warehouse."
Mazi nodded repeatedly in assurance, looking much more honest and honest.
