Li Qi followed Shu Wenbin to a house that Shu Wenbin rented for a hundred cash some time ago.
There was nothing else in the house except simple furniture. There was an oil lamp and a book "Da Xia Zhi" on the table.
Li Qi had glanced at this book a few times before. Anyone in Daxia who wanted to gain fame would basically be familiar with this book.
After Li Qi sat down, Shu Wenbin poured him a glass of water.
"It's a humble house, I hope you don't dislike it, sir." Shu Wenbin said with some embarrassment.
Li Qi thought to himself: Grandma, it would be nice to live in some place, but I still dislike it.
"Brother Shu, you are worrying too much. I am an independent person. I wander around all year round. It is good to have a place to stay. How can I dislike it?" Li Qi said with a smile.
"That's good."
"Besides, the reason why I feel like I'm destined to be with Brother Shu this time is because I want to help Brother Su solve his fate. It doesn't matter where I live."
Shu Wenbin thought to himself: It is my blessing, Shu Wenbin, to meet such an expert as Brother Li today. I cannot miss this opportunity.
"Brother Shu, are you not a local?" Li Qi asked.
Shu Wenbin cupped his fists and said, "I am from Guanshan, and I have only been in Shuicheng for a few days."
Li Qi nodded: "I wonder what Brother Shu came to Shuicheng for?"
Shu Wenbin smiled bitterly and said: "I have always wanted to obtain fame and honor my ancestors. Unfortunately, I am really stupid. Now that I am getting older, I want to come to Shuicheng to make a living."
"I see." Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I wonder what Brother Shu wants to do in Shuicheng?"
"I originally planned to go to a restaurant to work as an accountant, but unfortunately no one wanted me after searching for several days... Today I heard that Mr. Zhang's house was recruiting servants, so I thought about trying my luck there, but unexpectedly I met Brother Li." Shu
Wenbin said with a smile on his face.
It seemed to him that meeting Li Qi was more important than being a servant.
"Who else is in Brother Shu's family?" Li Qi asked.
"I have an old mother at home. I originally planned to take her over after I stabilized in Shuicheng."
Li Qi nodded, thinking: This guy is dull, but he is actually a filial person.
For the sake of you treating me to a big meal and taking me in, I'll see if I can give you a good fortune.
"Why does Brother Shu want to go to Zhang Mansion to be a servant?" Li Qi asked.
Shu Wenbin smiled and said: "Brother Li doesn't know something. The Zhang family is one of the richest businessmen in Shuicheng. The Zhang family's restaurants are all over Shuicheng. Moreover, the servants in their mansion are treated very well. Not only are their monthly wages several times that of other servants,
You can also get various rewards on weekdays..."
Li Qi nodded: "I see. So, Brother Shu's ideal is to go to Zhang Mansion and work as a servant?"
Shu Wenbin nodded: "Not bad."
Having said this, he paused again and said: "Unfortunately, Zhang Mansion is very strict in selecting servants. It is not easy to become a servant in Zhang Mansion."
"Brother Shu, don't worry, as long as I'm here I will make your dream come true." Li Qi patted his chest and said.
Shu Wenbin was overjoyed and looked at Li Qi, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Li."
This guy is really cute and silly. He believed it when I said it could be done. He really didn’t doubt it at all.
"By the way, Brother Li, I don't know the fate of my destiny..."
"Don't be anxious about this. I have my own plans. Some things cannot be rushed, and the secret cannot be leaked." Li Qi said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Li." Shu Wenbin stood up and said respectfully.
Grandma, now I can only eat and drink around this silly boy. Wait a few days to see if there are any business opportunities.
At the same time, Shen Jingbing became a waiter in a restaurant.
Originally, he thought that being the leader of his own North China branch, who had been in business for many years, was not easy enough to be an accountant.
But who would have known that he would hit a wall as soon as he entered the door, and people would not tolerate him at all.
Later, when he had no other choice, he settled for the next best thing and became a waiter, working as a waiter for free, just to help him stutter.
Holding a bowl of leftovers, Shen Jingbing sat on the threshold of the backyard and ate hungrily.
At this time, two waiters who were just like him passed by him and looked at him with disdain.
One of them said: "At first glance, this guy looks like a refugee who escaped..."
Another said: "That's right. If the shopkeeper didn't see him as pitiful and too young, how could he have been taken in?"
"The shopkeeper is very kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have kicked him out a long time ago."
Listening to these discussions, Shen Jingbing suddenly felt that the leftovers in his hands no longer tasted good.
He clenched his fists tightly and said in his heart: Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. One day, I will let you know what kind of person I, Shen, am!
When this business fight is over, I will definitely buy this restaurant, and then I will make you all kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!
Thinking about it, he felt proud, and the bowl in his hand was snatched away by an aunt without paying attention.
"What are you doing? I haven't finished eating yet!" Shen Jingbing was stunned.
The aunt said with disdain: "You eat so slowly, you don't know I have to wash the dishes? It's really useless!"
After saying that, he ignored him, poured the food in the bowl on the ground, took the bowl and left.
Shen Jingbing looked at the food on the floor, his stomach was still growling, he gritted his teeth, grabbed it with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
He comforted himself in his mind: No matter what, I still have food to eat. That little thief must not be as lucky as he is. He is probably still begging on the street.
…
"It's almost time. You should go to bed quickly."
Li Qi was lying leisurely on the wooden bed. Shu Wenbin beside him was holding a cattail leaf fan, wiping his sweat and fanning him: "It's okay, Brother Li, it's hot today. I'll fan you for a while until you fall asleep." I'm just going to rest."
Li Qi shrugged and said carelessly: "Okay, I'll go to bed first."
"Okay, Brother Li."
Early the next morning, Li Qi climbed out of bed in high spirits and found that Shu Wenbin had already bought breakfast for him.
Seeing him with two dark circles under his eyes, Li Qi felt a little unbearable: "Where did you sleep last night?"
"I lay down on the table and took a nap..." Shu Wenbin said with a smile.
Li Qi patted him on the shoulder and sat down to eat breakfast: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I guarantee that you can go to that Zhang Mansion and work as a servant."
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
"Hurry up and have something to eat. We'll go over and take a look after eating."
"good."
After eating breakfast, the two of them went out towards Zhang's Mansion, and soon arrived at the gate of Zhang's Mansion.
Seeing a long queue at the door, Li Qi was stunned and thought to himself: Isn't he just a servant? Why are so many people here?
Grandma's, what about it?
Glancing at Shu Wenbin, Li Qi asked: "Are these people here to be servants?"
