Chapter 127 The Ordinary Choice
Lu Chengming first asked Jiang Ying to buy some gifts, mainly snacks and children's toys, and then brought Wu Jia, and the three of them went to find Song Guichen together.
Originally, Jiang Ying didn't have to go.
But since you have spent money, you should use her more and not let her sit idle.
This is the consciousness that a capitalist should have.
In addition, I am a little worried that Qingying will trouble her, so let's try to act together...
The place where Song Guichen lives is a very old community.
The low and small building, the walls are still made of bricks, probably more than half a century old...
The narrow and dilapidated staircase looks only a few centimeters thick. Walking on it, it is inevitable to worry about whether it will collapse suddenly...
Finally, when he reached Song Guichen's house, he was already standing at the door waiting.
"Second Senior Brother!" Wu Jia hastily greeted with cupped hands.
"Wu Jia?" Song Guichen took a closer look before recognizing this junior sister.
After all, the last time I saw Wu Jia, she was still a little girl.
"Hi Senior Brother Song..." Lu Chengming greeted and observed Song Guichen.
He was of medium stature and ordinary in appearance, and he belonged to the kind of appearance that would be completely unnoticed when he was thrown into the crowd, without the slightest air of a Taoist genius.
Song Guichen looked at Lu Chengming again, frowned and asked, "Are you...?"
Before Lu Chengming could answer, Wu Jia hurriedly said: "His name is Lu Chengming, he is a nominal disciple, the kind who comes in with money!"
After a short pause, he pointed to Jiang Ying behind and introduced: "This beauty is Lu Chengming's personal assistant, rich people have it...you understand!"
"..." Lu Chengming was completely speechless after hearing this.
Jiang Ying also heaved a sigh of relief.
Ma Dongxing was right, he should have sealed Wu Jia's mouth with a piece of tape in advance!Just bring her here as a prop!
"Ah..." Song Guichen was stunned for a while, and had nothing to say, so he directly invited the three of them into the room.
The interior decoration is naturally quite shabby...but it is a home after all.
Didn't get to see his family because wife took son out to pre-school... also a costly and labor-intensive errand.
Wu Jia and Song Guichen haven't seen each other for many years, and they are very unfamiliar with each other.
At the beginning, neither of the two sides talked about business matters, just chatting about daily life.
Lu Chengming listened silently, and learned that Song Guichen used to work in a technology company, and his income was not bad, so he was able to buy this house.
However, the situation in the past two years has been bad, the company has laid off a large number of employees, and he has also lost his job;
Now, he can't find a suitable job, so he temporarily works as a delivery rider;
Today I heard that Wu Jia was coming, so I asked for leave to stay at home;
In short, the current situation is rather embarrassing, and the plan to buy a house in the school district for my son has also failed...
Speaking of this, Song Guichen suddenly looked at Lu Chengming and asked, "Chengming, do you have any children?"
"He has!" Wu Jia successfully answered again, "It's over four years old, and it's a daughter named Lu Lu!"
"Pfft!" Lu Chengming was drinking tea silently, and now he sprayed the tea out of his mouth!
Jiang Ying quickly took out a tissue and helped Mr. Lu wipe it.
"Look at his assistant!" Wu Jia sighed again, "Professional! That's professional!"
"Ah..." Song Guichen nodded repeatedly, expressing deep agreement.
"Ahem! Wu Jia! You..." Lu Chengming glared at Wu Jia angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!? Lulu is not my daughter!"
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't admit it!" Wu Jia was quite confident, "Wu Xiaowei told me a long time ago, and she also said that you refused to admit it! The illegitimate daughter is also your own, how can you do this?"
"Wu Xiaowei!?" Lu Chengming finally knew who the culprit was, "How did you two collude!?"
"What is collusion?" Wu Jia gave Lu Chengming a sideways glance, "You gave me the landline number of the villa, and I also called you, but it was Wu Xiaowei who answered...We naturally knew each other! She sent you Tell me all the bad things you have done!"
"Hey...Wu Xiaowei..." Lu Chengming rubbed his forehead in pain, "Live me, eat me, and cheat me..."
And Song Guichen stared at Lu Chengming, his expression had become very complicated.
Never expected that the current Wuming Sect has also fallen...
To give such a dude a name...
Master, his old man...
After all, it is still lost to money...
"By the way, how did you arrange that Gao Yumeng? You won't use him up, so just leave it alone?" Wu Jia even inquired about gossip!
"Wu Jia! Shut up!" Lu Chengming finally couldn't take it anymore, "Jiang Ying! Drag her out!"
"Okay, Young Master Lu." Jiang Ying directly took out her gun, put it against Wu Jia's head, and dragged her out of the door...
Seeing this scene, Song Guichen was completely stunned.
"Ahem, Senior Brother Song, I made you laugh..." Lu Chengming rubbed his face again before he got down to business, "The evil god under the Qinglong statue has escaped...Senior Brother, he was also seriously injured...You should you know?"
"Ah..." Song Guichen managed to come back to his senses, and nodded, "I know..."
Lu Chengming continued: "Senior brother Song, look at Wu Jia's appearance, heck, he can't support the reputation of the Wuming sect at all... So senior brother wants to invite you to go back and represent the Wuming sect to cooperate with other sects to discuss the great plan to fight against evil gods ..."
Song Guichen just listened and remained silent.
"Senior Brother Song, I have a general understanding of your current situation... I should be able to help." Lu Chengming said the key points slowly, "My girlfriend, I know almost all major shareholders of famous schools in Kowloon... the top ones Her family is also one of the best sponsors of a prestigious public school... so where your child wants to go to school, there is no problem at all... just a phone call can be resolved."
Hearing this, Song Guichen immediately widened his eyes.
Lu Chengming added: "If you still want to buy a house in the school district, I can... lend you some money. No interest, no deadline, you can pay it back whenever you want..."
Song Guichen was obviously shocked, his facial muscles trembled slightly, and he was speechless.
In this age without monsters...
A warlock who has signed a secret agreement and cannot use mystic arts is nothing more than trash in the eyes of the world!
The only organization that can use mystical arts to make money...is the notorious Qingying!
Rich people don't even pay attention to Taoist disciples!Never even heard of it!
And he, Song Guichen himself, has all the skills, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a rich man's bodyguard!Only for takeout now!
At this moment, facing Lu Chengming's generous "charity", Song Guichen felt mixed feelings...
In the end, Lu Chengming said seriously: "Eldest brother has specifically confessed that you cannot be forced... Whether you go back or not, I can help you solve these problems... I will never break my promise!"
Song Guichen was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "You go... take all the things you brought with you."
Obviously, this is rejection.
Lu Chengming was slightly taken aback.
However, this result is not surprising.
Maybe it was out of fear of evil gods, maybe out of sensitive self-esteem, in short, he refused.
"You can keep your things. I really don't have children, so I don't need snacks and toys." Lu Chengming smiled calmly, got up and left.
Song Guichen was still sitting on the sofa, and didn't even get up to see him off.
Just like that, sitting alone for hours...
……
In the end, Song Guichen stood up slowly, walked out of his home, and walked out of the dark corridor...
When I came to the canteen downstairs, I asked the boss for a pack of cigarettes.
"Hey, didn't you quit smoking a long time ago?" The boss was slightly surprised, "Has it been several years?"
"Yeah." Song Guichen smiled bitterly, "Since my wife became pregnant, I quit."
The boss also laughed: "Then now, does it mean that the wife doesn't care about you anymore when the child is older?"
Song Guichen didn't answer, but just stared at the pack of cigarettes, recalling a passage that his master once said when he was practicing:
"Everyone is mortal..."
"Or dust and smoke, gone with the wind..."
"Maybe it's a spark, flickering for a moment..."
"I am a disciple of the Wuming Sect, and I wish to pass on the sparks with myself and protect the dust and smoke of this prosperous world..."
