C2 A Toad Wants Swan Meat
9 PM, H City People's Square.
Yee Xiaonian spread out the red cloth and arranged the goods neatly. Then she cleared her throat and picked up the megaphone to start shouting, "Take a look. Ten yuan, three kinds, three kinds, ten yuan. Don't miss it when you pass by!"
After shouting for half a day, there was still not a single customer. People would rather watch the aunties dance than stay in front of her stall for a second longer.
Yee Xiaonian's throat was about to be split apart when she helplessly squatted on the ground. Rubbing her cold hands, she turned around and said to her best friend who was holding a small mirror to replenish her lipstick on the bench, "Don't put on makeup. Who can see clearly this late at night? Quick, help me shout a few words..."
Her best friend's name was Zhang Xiaohua. The two of them grew up together and similarly did not have parents. They stayed at relatives' houses to freeload and eat. Similarly, they also dropped out of high school after high school and relied on street stalls to work part-time to make a living. They relied on each other for survival.
But there was a difference. Yee Xiaonian was stingy and stingy. If she had any money in her hands, she would definitely take it to the bank and deposit it immediately. Zhang Xiaohua had a beautiful face and a sexy figure. She would spend as much as she wanted. She had never had the concept of saving money. Furthermore, she had dreamed of being a celebrity since junior high school.
Indeed, after hearing Yee Xiaonian's words, she did not put down the mirror. Instead, she raised her high heels and rolled her eyes at her. "Maintaining a beautiful image at all times is the self-cultivation of a beauty. A village girl like you will never understand. What time is it now? Why would anyone come to buy things? I think we should go home early. "
Yee Xiaonian's head was full of black lines...." Big sister, I just put the things out, okay? We didn't make a single cent today. Are we going home to eat and drink?"
"Who asked you to come out early to set up a stall?"
"Who asked me?" Yee Xiaonian complained in grief and indignation, "It was clearly you who went out to drink with someone last night. You were so drunk that you could not wake up during the day!"
Zhang Xiaohua finished making up her makeup and put the mirror into her bag. She was unmoved. "Then you can also come out by yourself..."
As she spoke, she pulled her curly hair. When her eyes looked in a certain direction, her entire face changed and she forcefully pulled Yee Xiaonian's hand. "My God!! Why are they here?! Hurry up and leave!"
"Who is it? Town Security?" Yee Xiaonian was confused as she tidied up the stall.
Zhang Xiaohua did not answer and tried her best to pull her up, "Aiya, don't bother about those things!"
While she was pulling, four muscular men with green dragon and white tiger tattoos all over their bodies walked in front of her and smiled maliciously at Zhang Xiaohua, "Hehe, I finally found you."
"You guys got the wrong person!" Zhang Xiaohua shouted loudly and stepped on her high heels, dragging Yee Xiaonian as she ran towards the side of the road as fast as she could.
The men kicked the goods away and chased after them.
Zhang Xiaohua originally wanted to stop the taxi by the side of the road, but when the drivers saw that someone was chasing behind her, they were unwilling to stop. She was unable to pull Yee Xiaonian into a dark alley in a flash.
Not only did they not sell anything, but the goods were also damaged. Yee Xiaonian's heart ached to death and she almost shouted with anger, "What are you hiding for! What are those people doing?"
"I will explain to you when I get home. Escape is more important now!" Zhang Xiaohua's footsteps did not stop and Yee Xiaonian could only follow.
The footsteps behind them gradually faded and the two of them were delighted. They thought that they had finally escaped but who knew that two muscular men suddenly came out from the corner in front of them to block their path and they even held steel rods in their hands.
Yee Xiaonian immediately turned around and wanted to run back but she saw that there were also people blocking behind her.
The muscular man sneered, "Run, why aren't you running anymore?"
Yee Xiaonian broke out in cold sweat, "What are you doing? Killing people? If you come again, I will call the police! "
" Aiyo, I'm so scared. " The muscular man pointed at Zhang Xiaohua with a steel pole. "If you call the police, the police will be the first to arrest her."
Yee Xiaonian was just about to ask what kind of unbearable thing Zhang Xiaohua had done when she saw her suddenly toss the bag. She knelt on the ground and kept begging, "Big Brother, give me another month. I promise to pay back all the money. I beg you... "
"I really want to believe you, but what about you? One month after another, how long has it been?" The muscular man walked over with a steel pole in his hand. "I'm sorry, I have to collect some interest today. Hold her leg down!"
The remaining muscular men rushed forward. Zhang Xiaohua instantly became meat on the chopping board. Combined with her previous style of doing things, Yee Xiaonian already understood what had happened. She was simply angered to death by her but at this moment the situation was urgent. She risked her life to protect Zhang Xiaohua and shouted, "Don't hit her. How much money do you owe me? I will pay it back for her!"
"You will pay it back for her? Do you know how much money she owes?"
"How much?"
"One million yuan."
Even if she set up a stall for another ten years, she would not be able to save that much money. Yee Xiaonian's heart turned cold.
The muscular man sneered and raised the steel rod. He aimed at Zhang Xiaohua's knee joint. Zhang Xiaohua could not avoid it and her face turned pale.
"No!" Yee Xiaonian cried powerlessly and the scream that came from Zhang Xiaohua's throat almost broke her eardrums.
Half an hour later, at the hospital resuscitation room door, Yee Xiaonian sat alone on a plastic chair. Most of her clothes were soaked in blood and the words that the muscular men had said before they left echoed in her mind.
"One month later, if I don't pay back the money, I will come back to get another leg."
Zhang Xiaohua was so proud and loved beauty. If she lost her leg, she definitely would not be able to live for even a second. But how could she earn so much money in one month?
Yee Xiaonian thought about it and covered her face as she cried in despair.
The phone suddenly rang and broke the silence. She used her sleeve to wipe her tears and picked up the phone. "Hello? Yes, I am Yee Xiaonian."
On the other end of the phone was a man with a refined voice. "I know what happened just now. I hope you can help me complete one thing. After it is done, I can give you one million yuan."
This was no different from a stuffed cake that fell from the sky. Yee Xiaonian asked suspiciously," Who are you? Why should I believe you?"
"You don't need to care who I am. Other than believing me, do you have a second option?"
Yee Xiaonian was silent and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Go after a man and let him marry you. I will send his information to you through email later. At the same time, in order to let you get rid of your worries, I will transfer 100,000 to your account as advance payment."
Was this person crazy? Yee Xiaonian calmly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word after taking the money?"
The man laughed softly, "100,000 is nothing to me, but I believe that your friend will not grow a third leg."
Yes, with their current situation, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with others? Yee Xiaonian agreed to the man. A moment later, her phone rang with an email notification.
Yee Xiaonian opened it and read it. She muttered the man's name on the information, "Gu Yingjue..."
Gu Yingjue, 28 years old, graduated from one of the top three institutions in the world. He was a PhD in finance philosophy history. His parents were all famous professors in H City University. After he graduated, he started from scratch and started up an online company. After that, he went into real estate, textile, catering, and other projects. In a few short years, he built a huge business empire. He named it ZA, and it was now the president of ZA Group and the biggest shareholder.
This was all the contents of the email. In addition, there was also a photo of Gu Yingjue in the attachment.
He sat in front of his desk, wearing a tall suit. His expression was cold and distant, but his appearance was even more handsome than many of the popular students.
Am I going to chase after such a near perfect man?
Yee Xiaonian seemed to see a toad wanting to pounce on a swan. Of course, she would never admit that she was that toad...
But things had already come to this point. Zhang Xiaohua was still unconscious on the operation bed. She had no right to say no.
Yee Xiaonian's fingers danced on the keyboard, searching for all information about Gu Yingjue. After learning that the ZA Group would hold an anniversary celebration at the most luxurious ZM Hotel in H City, Gu Yingjue, the president and founder of the group, would definitely attend.
This was a good opportunity to get close. Yee Xiaonian dialed the recruitment number of the ZM hotel.
"Hello, do you guys want a part-time job? The kind that can go to work very soon..."
The next night at 9 PM, in the largest banquet hall of the ZM Hotel, there was a crowd of people and it was brightly lit.
The host held the microphone and shouted passionately on the stage, "Next, welcome our most respected and most worshiped person to the stage, that is the president of the ZA Group, Gu Yingjue! Come, let's welcome Chairman Gu!"
Amidst the intense applause, the crowd automatically opened up a path. Gu Yingjue, who was wearing black formal clothes, stood on the podium. When the host realized that something was wrong, he immediately ran up and raised the microphone a little before quickly retreating.
Even at this moment of joy, Gu Yingjue's expression was still serious and serious. His meticulous hair and tie revealed his decisive style. He nodded slightly at the audience below the stage and slowly said, "Today..."
In the darkness where the light could not reach, Yee Xiaonian secretly stuffed the empty tray under the cabinet. She quickly ran into the bathroom and took off the waiter uniform, revealing the specially ironed black dress inside. She also untied the tray and let it hang onto her shoulders.
Even a toad had to be the most beautiful one. Yee Xiaonian had never cared about these things in the past, but today she had to take it seriously because she had to make Gu Yingjue fall in love with her.
When Yee Xiaonian returned to the banquet hall, Gu Yingjue's speech had come to an end.
There was another round of applause. The host lifted his foot and was about to go on stage when he suddenly saw a black figure rushing over and falling at Gu Yingjue's feet.
Everyone's first reaction was to cry out in shock. They thought that there was a sneak attack from an assassin. The bodyguard also took out his gun and rushed to Gu Yingjue's side, wanting to take him down.
Gu Yingjue took a step back and saw that the person in front of him was a girl. So he raised his hand to stop the bodyguard and lowered his head to ask, "What do you want to do?"
That girl was Yee Xiaonian. She raised her face and looked at Gu Yingjue, her eyes full of expectation. "I love you. Will you marry me?"
The scream turned into laughter. Everyone patted their chests, thinking that it was a madman. The female staff scanned Yee Xiaonian's body from head to toe. Some even went up and asked, "Which green onion are you?" When they saw Gu Yingjue's serious face, they immediately retreated.
Gu Yingjue did not speak. Yee Xiaonian thought that he was hesitating, so she moved closer. "I am sincere. As long as you marry me, I can do anything. I beg you."
Gu Yingjue finally had a reaction. He asked expressionlessly, "Are you a staff member of our company?"
Yee Xiaonian shook her head.
"Very good." Gu Yingjue nodded and gestured to the bodyguard, "Drag her out. Also, call the hotel security manager over."
Yee Xiaonian then realized that he did not speak earlier not because he was considering her request, but because he wanted to take responsibility for someone!
But it was too late. The bodyguard grabbed one of her arms and took her out of the banquet hall like a chicken.
The farce ended and the anniversary celebration continued.
