City: Signing in starts with getting mind reading skills

Chapter 536 Recalling the Glorious Years of the Past

"Young man, actually I understand you."

The old man in Tang suit said slowly: "You came to Lighthouse on a business trip. After seeing the freedom and prosperity of Lighthouse, you also know how poor and backward China is."

"But as a Chinese, you have been tortured by Chinese official education since you were a child, so you cannot accept all this."

"For your poor self-esteem and vain vanity, you can only deceive yourself."

"If you insist on saying how good China is, it is no worse than a lighthouse."

……

"That's right, that's it, you deceive yourself."

"Oh, living with such self-paralysis and not recognizing reality is so tiring."

Other old men agreed.

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right."

Zhou Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and didn't bother to explain to them anymore.

They won't believe it anyway, and will think you are just trying to defend yourself.

Just let these old guys live in the world of their own imagination.

Originally, he came to the teahouse to inquire about the slums and gangs. Unexpectedly, he first met a weird waiter who looked down on his Chinese compatriots, and then met a group of even weirder Chinese old men who were living in dreams of the past. It was really unlucky.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have come.

"Look, young man, are you starting to admit that what I said is right?"

The old man in Tang suit couldn't understand Zhou Xiaoyu's sarcastic jokes, and he was still complacent, thinking that he had poked Zhou Xiaoyu's mind and caused the opponent to break his defense.

"hehe."

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled slightly and continued to operate his mobile phone.

"Actually, you don't have to feel ashamed."

The old man in Tang suit felt good about himself and said to himself, "Like you, we all thought that China was the greatest country in the world. We were the happiest residents and lived the best life."

“We didn’t know until we heard about the lives of the people who smuggled themselves to the lighthouse.”

“Their dogs eat better than ours.”

"Our faith was shattered all of a sudden."

"So even if we risk our lives, we have to cross the Double Ninth Festival and come to the lighthouse to start a new life."

"Fortunately, we arrived here alive. Although it was very difficult at the beginning and had nothing, we have freedom and food."

"We worked hard and finally lived a prosperous and stable life. This is the reward we deserve."

"Young man, I think you are quite kind. Do you want to live a prosperous, stable and free life like us? I can help you."

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled: "No need, uncle, I think I'm fine now."

"Ignorant boy, do you know who Brother Zou is? He actually refused. It's really shameless."

"That's right, Brother Zou is not an ordinary person. He is a big boss in Chinatown, City C. As long as he says a word, even if you are a black person, you can easily get a foothold here. After working for a few years, the black person can become a white person. ”

"Brother Zou is willing to help you. That is a great blessing. Young man, you will soon be able to move from the dark China to the lighthouse. The time is right to change your destiny. Why don't you change your mind quickly?"

……

Other old men said one after another.

Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned. He didn't expect that this old man in Tang suit had quite a background.

"Don't say that, everyone."

The old man in Tang suit named Zou waved his hand and said with a smile: "This young man may not be unwilling, you have to understand."

At this point, his voice suddenly became lower, "The Chinese official is so professional, how can we trust him to come to the lighthouse alone for a business trip?"

"There must be other companions, even spies, secretly following us."

"It depends on whether his words and deeds have been corroded by the sugar-coated bullets of Lighthouse."

"So once he shows that he yearns for the lighthouse, his companions or agents will secretly inform him, or even shoot him on the spot."

……

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot."

"Chinese officials are capable of doing this."

……

The other old men looked like they were suddenly enlightened and nodded.

Many people were still pretending to look around, as if they wanted to find the spy who was following Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu simply wanted to give the wrinkled old man 10,000 likes.

This old man has a rich imagination. It would be a pity not to become a screenwriter in Hollywood.

"But young man, you don't have to worry."

Elder Zou proudly said to him: "This is the Lighthouse Country, not China."

"Although I am not talented, I am still relatively unknown locally. If you are willing, I can help you settle the matter."

"From now on, you can be free and live here openly."

Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Uncle, that is the Chinese official."

"It represents a country."

"With such a powerful force, no matter how good you are, you are just a human being, and you are so old. Do you dare to provoke it?"

……

"You can't trust me?"

Old Man Zou smiled faintly and looked to the left and right, his eyes showing a look of arrogance as if he was arrogant.

That means: brag to me quickly, I want to show off in front of this young man.

"Young man, although ignorance is not a crime, I still have to say a few words to you. Don't question others easily. Brother Zou's energy is much more powerful than you think."

"Do you know that the owner of this teahouse has to give Brother Zou some face?"

"Who in Chinatown in City C doesn't know the name of Brother Zou, the old gang leader of the Star Gang? When he mentions it, everyone gives a thumbs up. Even many foreigners have long admired his name."

"Brother Zou's wealth in City C will scare you to death if I tell you. It's at least several million yuan!"

"A word from him will save you ten years of hard work."

……

The other old men praised him again.

Zhou Xiaoyu was shocked: "Old man Zou is so powerful, this junior is disrespectful."

With that said, he cupped his fists and saluted Old Man Zou from a distance.

Old man Zou's face glowed red, he waved his hands and smiled: "It's a reward, it's just a show of love."

"Young man, there's no need to be modest. I think you're quite smart and capable, and you have the energy that I had back then."

When he said this, he showed a look of recalling the turbulent years in the past:

"Actually, back then, I was doing pretty well in China."

"There are two large courtyard houses in the imperial capital. There is no shortage of money and food."

"But after I learned about the living standards in the lighthouse country, I realized that I was like a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky."

"I am a very ambitious person. I would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken."

"So I sold two courtyard houses in Huaxia, took the house payment of 500 yuan, took the ferry, and went through a lot of hardships, finally arrived at the lighthouse."

“After decades of hard work, relying on my own hard work and the support of these old brothers, I am now worth millions and living the good life I have dreamed of.”

As he spoke, his tone was filled with sadness.

The other old men also looked excited and full of memories.

"It's hard to look back on the past, but being able to live the life we ​​have today makes all the hardships worth it, haha."

An old man shook his head and said.

Hahaha……

All the old people laughed happily.

Zhou Xiaoyu's expression became complicated: "Uncle Zou, you said you sold two courtyard houses in the Imperial Capital?"
