"You are from outside the country, do you want fame and fortune?" I asked Yi Ba.
"Similar to you, Brother Chuyi, I am not very interested in profiting from you, but I still value fame a little bit." Yi Ba replied with a smile.
Two days passed peacefully. In the afternoon, Sister Shaoyao hurried to Yiba Pavilion.
"Is something wrong?" I asked Sister Shaoyao.
"On the first day of next month, Li Yin will be selected in Guquan Old Street." Sister Shaoyao said.
In ancient times, Li Yin was the chief of the village, and one hundred households constituted one li. To put it more bluntly, the chief of the village could be in charge of one hundred households. Although there are not as many merchants on Guquan Old Street as one hundred, there are still dozens. What Sister Shaoyao said about choosing Li Yin should be what Song Xi told me before about setting up the stage.
“What is Liyin?” I asked Sister Shaoyao, pretending not to understand at all.
"The person who is in charge of the whole street." Sister Shaoyao took over the words and said: "The various merchants in Guquan Old Street are fighting each other and wasting their energy on internal strife. In order to change the old street, Regarding the current situation on the street, we decided to choose a Li Yin. From now on, Li Yin will be the judge of everything that happens on the street."
"Oh!" I responded. Then he looked at Sister Xue with a puzzled look on his face and asked: "How do you choose Li Yin?"
"The specific method of selection has not been decided yet. I am here to tell you and let you follow me Let’s support Uncle Duan together. As long as Uncle Duan becomes Li Yin, the weight of your Yiba Pavilion will at least become a lot heavier in Guquan Old Street.” Sister Shaoyao said with a smile.
I didn't answer, but nodded.
“It’s refreshing enough.” Sister Shaoyao smiled with satisfaction and said, “I won’t treat you badly.”
Sister Shaoyao left, and she ran to another house to tell the truth. The guest has gone.
"You promised Sister Shaoyao?" Yi Ba asked me with a smile.
"Are you agreeing?" I looked at Yi Ba with a puzzled face and said, "My neck was a little sore just now, and my head just nodded unconsciously. How can this be considered an agreement?"
"Brother Chu Yi, you are really getting more and more thief!" Yi Badao said.
Not long after Sister Shaoyao left, that guy Hu Weiyong came to the door.
"Hello, you two!" He smiled as soon as he entered the door. This Hu Weiyong, with his appearance, definitely has an agenda.
"Hello!" I replied to Hu Weiyong politely.
"Li Yin will be selected on the first day of next month. Sister Shaoyao should have told you just now, right?" Hu Weiyong asked.
"I told you." I nodded and said, "You came here to be a lobbyist like her?"
"Did you agree to her?" Hu Weiyong asked curiously. ask.
“Whether you agree or not, it has nothing to do with you, right?” I said.
"Sister Shaoyao is from Uncle Duan's side. She must have asked you to support Uncle Duan, right? Uncle Duan is the one who despises our kind of talkers the most. Last time Yiba Pavilion was in trouble, we took action It’s Uncle Qian who’s helping you. Uncle Qian is treating you two. I believe you will never forget your kindness. I believe you two know what to do on the first day of next month."
After Hu Weiyong said this, he didn't know. No matter what answer Yi Ba and I wanted, we left.
When Yiba Pavilion was still at the end of the street, Uncle Duan and the others came to look for trouble. It was Uncle Qian who saved me. Uncle Qian belongs to Master Yan, so he and Song Xi should be in the same group! Hu Weiyong came to ask me to support Uncle Qian. Does this mean that Uncle Qian also wants to be the Yin there?
Just because Uncle Qian helped me before, I have to support him! Otherwise, this would seem so unjust!
“What do you think now?” Yi Ba asked me with a smile.
“I have no idea other than confusion.” I am telling the truth.
"Should we go to Song Xi and ask what's going on with Uncle Qian? We can compete with Uncle Duan. Uncle Qian should be considered one of our own. It would be a bit unreasonable to compete with him. "Yi Badao.
It was not easy to ask about this matter on the phone, so I decided to talk to Song Xi in person. We haven’t seen her for several days. To be honest, I really miss that girl.
I drove the broken bread and went to Song Xi Company.
"Why are you here?" When I opened the door and walked into the office, Song Xi looked at me with surprised eyes.
"I have to ask you about Guquan Old Street." I said.
"What's going on?" Song Xi asked.
"Guquan Old Street is going to choose Li Yin. You should know this, right?" I asked.
"I know!" Song Xi replied lightly.
"Then did you know that Uncle Qian also wants to run for election?" I asked.
"Uncle Qian?" Song Xi frowned and said, "It's unlikely, right?"
"This news shouldn't be false," I said.
Song Xi picked up the phone and dialed a number. After saying a few words to the other party, her face suddenly sank.
"What's going on?" Judging from Song Xi's face, the situation didn't seem so good, so I was a little worried and asked her.
"Master Yan said that you are too young and have little influence in Guquan Old Street. If you run for election, you may fail. So after careful consideration, he decided to let Uncle Qian go." Song Xi said.
"Uncle Qian's influence on Guquan Old Street is indeed much greater than mine. There is nothing wrong with Master Yan's decision." I said.
Song Xi looked at me seriously and asked, "Do you want to be Na Yin?"
"Didn't Master Yan ask Uncle Qian to go?" I looked at Song Xi with a puzzled face and asked, "If I still fight, wouldn't I be disrespecting Master Yan and Uncle Qian?"
"I promised well before, but now I'm going back on my word. Even if I don't give them face, it's what they asked for." Song Xi said bitterly.
"You mean, we are at odds with Mr. Yan and the others, right?" I asked.
“You can never take the initiative if you rely on others.” Song Xi took the words and said, “Guquan Old Street, I can only rest assured if I put it in your hands.”
"Just an uncle Duan It's already difficult enough. If you add another Yan Ye, won't things become even more difficult?" I looked at Song Xi with a worried look on my face and asked, "Tell me the truth. Is there any chance of winning? ”
"How do I know?" Song Xi gave me a roll of his eyes and said, "Compared with the abilities of you and Yi Ba and those guys in Guquan Old Street, how can I tell you clearly who is more powerful?"
"Do you really want me to be the Li Yin of Guquan Old Street?" I asked.
"Yes!" Song Xi nodded and said: "Before entering Guquan Old Street, I was the only one helping you to open up the relationship. Now that Master Yan and the others have gone back on their word, the relationship there is broken. Next, How you gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street depends on your own ability."
"I won't let you down," I said to Song Xi seriously.
I am not a soft-boiled person. I, Zhao Chuyi, rely on my real ability to make a living. To be honest, relying on Song Xi to pave the way to enter Guquan Old Street has always made me feel a little unhappy. It's okay now. Song Xi's road is completely cut off. What happens next depends entirely on my own ability.
Under such circumstances, being able to gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street is a real foothold.
"I believe you." Song Xi replied to me gently, then hugged me, kissed me on my left cheek, and said, "This is what I owed you last time. "
"I kissed both sides, what should I do in the middle?" I asked scornfully.
“I’ll wait until you become Li Yin before I kiss you.” Song Xi said.
Isn’t Song Xi’s request a bit too high for Li Yin to give her a kiss? But a man like me has to push hard, otherwise, once laziness sets in, he will not be able to make progress.
Song Xi still had something to do. After finishing the matter, I didn't bother her anymore. Instead, I drove the broken bread back to Yiba Pavilion.
"How are you?" Yi Ba asked me as soon as I got off the car.
"We had a falling out with Mr. Yan and the others. From now on in Guquan Old Street, the two of us can only rely on our own abilities to gain a foothold." I said.
"What about Li Yin? Should we fight or not?" Yi Ba asked. "Of course we have to fight!" I took over the words and said: "Since we can only rely on ourselves, we naturally have to fight for everything that should be fought! If we don't fight for ourselves, the two of us will not be able to gain a foothold here in Guquan Old Street. ”
