The Devil is Lurking By Your Side - Chapter 139

Chen Zhixian looked at Brother Jiang and closed his eyes. Knowing that he was a little tired, he stood up straight. He sighed and walked to You Zhong’s side and said, “You Zhong, look, as long as we perform, we will always be tired like this, not just to save this money, do you think it is worth it?”

Yan Youzhong stretched out his arm around his shoulder and said, “I think I’m more tired than you, isn’t it just a laugh?”

“Fuck! Do you think it’s not tiring to laugh at the audience and do those funny actions? Moreover, I have been doing this for more than a year, and I have to laugh for no reason every day, like a crazy, bah! “Chen Zhixian took a sip, then shook his shoulder, freeing himself from You Zhong’s arm.

“Why do you complain so much. If you don’t like it, why come here?” Yan Youzhong said angrily.

“Do you think I want? If I don’t do it, what else can I do?” Chen Zhixian said helplessly, and then walked to the empty chair on the other side, sat down, and began to complain about himself.

He never went to college or learned any crafts. He considered himself a humorous man, so he chose to be a clown and perform with the team.

However, after working for more than a year, he found that his salary was not enough for his own expenses, or that he had not planned well at all, spent a lot of money, and loved gambling, which led to the economic dilemma today.

“You Zhong, do you have any money? Let me borrow some.” When Chen Zhixian thought about this, he raised his head and asked You Zhong, but he just said casually when he asked for it, never wondering whether the other party would agree to it. Myself, it’s just a chance.

Sure enough, You Zhong refused him without even thinking about it, saying: “I have no money, don’t ask me for it!”

At this moment, Brother Jiang, who was closing his eyes, spoke. He said faintly: “If you don’t want to do it anymore, just go, don’t keep yelling here. Or I can talk to Big Brother Peng for you. Just ask him to pay you today’s salary directly.”

“No, no, I don’t mean that. I need this job more than any of you, so I’m just talking about it. Oh, don’t tell me, in case Brother Peng hears, he must be Will drive me away.” Chen Zhixian said quickly after listening.

He didn’t want to leave at this time. He hasn’t found a job yet, if he is fired like this, where can he find money?

As a result, what he said became softer, and then he dared not say anything more.

A few people later took a rest in the backstage, and only other temporary workers were busy and packed their things. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone became more sleepy, and Chen Zhixian quietly came to Jiang Ge at this time and asked in a low voice: “Jiang, why hasn’t Brother Peng appeared yet? I have to wait until when the salary will be paid. Woolen cloth.”

“I don’t know, be patient.” Jiang Ge still closed his eyes, not even opening his eyes to see him.

After the two had finished talking, they saw You Zhong hurriedly approaching them and said to them: “Okay, Brother Peng will let us all go over and say that we are paid!”

“Okay, I’ll go over!” Chen Zhixian’s eyes flashed as soon as he heard the three words payroll, then stood up and ran in the direction of the van.

Everyone followed in his footsteps and came to Peng’s side. I saw that he handed out the envelopes to everyone according to their names, and then Jiang Ge and others all took their own wages tonight.

“Finally I got the money, and I will have a good meal tomorrow!” Chen Zhixian said cheerfully while calculating his salary.

Except for him, everyone else opened their mouths and laughed with joy, and then the group left the park and headed to the nearest cheap hotel.

On the other side, Xiaokai couldn’t help laughing after receiving his salary. He hurriedly sent a message to Xiaojun, saying: “Aha, I finally got my salary. Let’s go, we will come out together tomorrow afternoon, and I will buy you a drink.”

After waiting for a long time, he saw that Xiaojun’s message had not come in, so he put his phone in his trouser pocket, and walked towards home.

It was not until he reached the door of his house that he received Xiaojun’s message.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow, are you home yet?”

“Just arrived.” After Xiaokai sent this message to Xiaojun, he opened the door and entered the house.

He quietly crossed the living room, then came to the bathroom, took a casual shower, and then lay on the bed. When he picked up his salary, forget it, there was 500 yuan, so he was so happy that he could have a good dream even when he sleeps.

After all, 500 yuan is a lot for a junior high school student.

“Xiaojun, I got 500 yuan here, what do you want to drink, brother will treat you tomorrow!” Xiaokai was so happy to send a message to Xiaojun again.

“Come on, just like that 500 yuan makes you happy! But since you want to invite me, then I have to drink the most expensive milk tea! Haha!” After Xiaojun’s message was sent, Xiaokai also laughed. NS.

“It’s okay, you can drink as you like. Anyway, my brothers haven’t eaten or drunk for a long time. It doesn’t matter how you want to eat. Besides, I will have a performance tomorrow, and the salary will be paid every night at night. I settled, so don’t save money for me!” Xiao Kai quickly typed on the phone. When he thinks of getting more extra money in these two weeks, the whole person feels like a dream.

Xiaokai comes from a well-off family, and his parents don’t usually give him any more money. Therefore, the first time he made money from his own work, he felt a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, he also tasted a little sweetness, and even felt a little bit more. pride.

Look, Xiaokai can save money for himself, so he doesn’t have to beg his parents to buy him anything he wants in the future.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He fell asleep like this before he knew it, and didn’t even read the message Xiaojun sent him later.

“Xiao Kai, you are happy and happy, but such a dangerous performance, I don’t think you should do it.”

Xiaojun held the phone for a long time, and when he saw Xiaokai never reply, he sighed lightly, then put the phone on the head of the bed. After thinking about things for a while, he fell asleep deeply.

The magic group came outside a villa in Longshi. Chen Zhixian looked at the villa and saw something gloomy. He frowned and said, “I thought Big Brother Peng would be nice to us this time. Let us stay in a hotel. Still squeezed in a villa with you stinky men.”

“If you think we are smelly, then stop living and sleep outside by yourself.” Jiang Ge jumped out of the truck at this time and walked towards the villa.

“Haha, I just laughed… Hey, wait for me!” Chen Zhixian saw that no one wanted to care about him, so he immediately picked up his backpack and hurried to catch up with them.

Afterwards, everyone chose the bedroom at will, and then took turns to take a bath. After a while, they all gathered in the bedroom, lying down and going to sleep.

Only Brother Jiang walked to the window of the villa, lit a cigarette again, and started smoking.

You Zhong saw him get up in the dark, but he was not asleep, so he slowly came to him and asked: “What’s the matter? Are you homesick?”

Brother Jiang turned his head and glanced at You Zhong, and asked, “Why are you still asleep?”

“Not asleep.” You Zhong immediately stood beside him and looked out the window.

“Well, I didn’t fall asleep either.” Jiang Ge slowly smoked, squinting at the darkness outside the house.

“It’s always like this on the first day when I come to a strange town, I can’t fall asleep.” You Zhong said with some sentiment as he looked at the dark night.

“Why don’t you marry a wife?” Jiang Ge suddenly asked after taking a puff of cigarette.

“I don’t have any money, how can I marry a wife and have children?” You Zhong sighed immediately, then stretched out his hand and said to Brother Jiang, “Is there any more cigarettes? Give me some smoke too.”

Brother Jiang lowered his head and took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and then handed it to You Zhong.

After You Zhong smoked a cigarette, he leaned forward with the lighter Jiang Ge handed over, lit a cigarette immediately, and the white mist followed their faces round and round.

The two big men stood silently by the window. After You Zhong smoked for a while, he immediately said, “Brother Jiang, Mr. Zhixian borrowed money from you, this time you must not lend it to him.”

“Why?” Jiang Ge asked.

“He loves gambling, you lent it to him, and it won’t be long before he will run out of it again,” You Zhong said.

“Yeah.” Jiang Ge just replied in a low voice, but didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t until both of them had finished smoking the cigarettes in their hands that Brother Jiang asked, “Do you think we should discuss with Big Brother Peng?”

“What? What to discuss?” You Zhong asked with wide eyes.

He had never seen Brother Jiang mentioned discussing matters with Boss Peng. Although they didn’t know each other for a long time, in his cognition, Jiang Ge always performed his performance silently without saying a word.

However, today he suddenly spoke up.

“Discuss the salary.” Jiang Ge said in a deep voice.

“Brother Jiang, don’t listen to that fellow Zhixian talking nonsense. If he wants to get more salary and let him talk to Boss Peng, we will ignore him.” You Zhong frowned and said, really don’t understand why Jiang Brother also began to raise the issue of salary.

“Well, go to sleep.” Brother Jiang walked from the window to his room. Later, he turned around and asked in a low voice: “By the way, have you learned the magic that I taught you?”

You Zhong smiled and said, “No, how can I learn such a deep truth so quickly? Go to sleep.”

Brother Jiang didn’t say a word. After nodding, he just lay down with his clothes and fell asleep in a short time.

After watching him fall asleep, You Zhong shook his head, then lay down, looking at the ceiling, and sighed.

“Boss, everything is done.” At this time, a man’s voice said in the dark.

“Well, are you sure that everything has been cleaned up?” the person called the boss asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, it’s all cleaned up, but…” The man was silent afterwards, wondering if he should continue.

“But what?” the boss asked.

“Someone in the team mentioned the salary issue. They seem to be dissatisfied and want more.” The man put his hand behind him and stood at the door. Under the moonlight, he saw that his boss’s face was always indifferent. .

“Then as they wish, add an extra 200 yuan per person.” The boss said.

“Good boss.” The man nodded and said, very respectful.

“If there is nothing wrong, you can go out first.” The boss whispered.

“Yes!” The man agreed, and then he wanted to turn around and exit the house.

Unexpectedly, I heard the other person say: “Wait.”

“What’s the matter?” the man asked, turning around again.

“That boy named Xiaokai, give him another 500 yuan.” The boss said slowly with his back to the man.

“Okay!” The man agreed, then turned around and withdrew.

The man looked at the darkness outside the window, with brutal gazes in his eyes. However, what he didn’t know was that he was hiding infinitely complex emotions under his ferocious gaze. .
