Chapter 179 The Tao is not the same
Master Wunian introduced himself to Jiang Chao and me in the private room:
"We are both our own people, so I told you straightforwardly, don't see that I'm dressed like this, I'm actually a freelancer."
"Freeman? Master, aren't you a monk?" I asked.
Wu Nian smiled and shook his head and said:
"Of course I'm not a monk. I dressed up like this on purpose, because there is no way to do business."
I said bluntly after hearing this:
"Aren't you just a lie?"
Master Wunian waved his hand and said:
"No, no, this is not a lie. The Buddha said that lifelong equality. Can we ordinary people not be able to wear clothes and black hair that monks wear?"
I said bluntly after hearing this:
"It is naturally your freedom to shave whatever you wear, but if you do business under the guise of a Buddhist monk, that is to cheat!"
Guo Wenjuan, who was sitting next to me, heard me say this, reached out and poked my thigh under the table.
Jiang Chao, who was standing beside him, looked at the "Master" Wunian sitting opposite the dining table without saying a word.
Wunian "Master" didn't seem to expect that I would speak so directly. He looked at me and laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this time, Guo Wenjuan stood up and said:
"I...I'll go urge some food, you guys will chat slowly..."
Guo Wenjuan said and glared at me again, then walked out of the box.
After Guo Wenjuan left, I looked at the pseudo-master in front of me and said:
"We are not a member of the same generation, so I don't think we have to continue to discuss the next cooperation project. Let's go, Jiang Chao."
After saying that, Jiang Chao and I got up and walked outside the private room.
At this time, "Master" Wunian, who was sitting at the dining table, spoke:
"Don't you want to make a name for yourself at a young age? You don't want to work with me and make a fortune?"
After hearing this, I sneered and said:
“We don’t have to make any money.”
Wunian "Master" continued:
"You are still too young and don't understand the current society at all. As a man, you must make money by any means. As long as you have money, you will have everything. If a man has no money, even the wild dogs on the roadside will not look at him more."
I laughed after hearing this:
"Master, continue to make money from you, we will not break the river."
After saying that, I opened the door and walked out.
Jiang Chao followed me and walked out of the private room. As soon as we arrived in the corridor, we saw Guo Wenjuan walking back towards us.
Guo Wenjuan was surprised when she saw Jiang Chao and I walk out of the box:
"The ninth day of the lunar month, Jiang Chao, the dishes will be served soon. Why are you all coming out?"
I looked at Guo Wenjuan and said:
"Messenger Guo, who are you introducing to us? How did you know a person who pretends to be a master and seeks cheating everywhere?"
Guo Wenjuan looked at me and said:
"Chujiu, don't worry about whether he cheated or not. At least Master Wunian didn't cheat you, right?"
"Messenger Guo, what's going on now? Why do you still talk to such a person?" I looked at Guo Wenjuan and felt a little angry.
Guo Wenjuan took a deep breath and said to me:
"I understand your personality and know that you have always scoffed at bad things, but this is the world. If you want to make more money, you must break the bottom line you have adhered to before. Only by making changes can you make yourself stronger. Master Wunian is indeed pretending to be a fake master now, but the business he does not violate the law. Why don't you stay and learn more about it for a while?"
I looked at Guo Wenjuan coldly and said:
"No need, it's not a person all the way. Staying there is also a waste of time. Member Guo, I have to remind you, you'd better stay away from him, so as not to cause trouble."
As I said that, I took Jiang Chao to walk outside the hotel.
Guo Wenjuan followed us and chased us out:
"Chujiu, Jiang Chao, wait a moment, I'll let my friend drive you back."
"No need to worry, let's take a taxi by ourselves." I said, and stopped a taxi driving opposite me and got into the car with Jiang Chao.
The taxi driver drove to the destination I said. Jiang Chao and I sat behind me and didn't talk much along the way.
Jiang Chao noticed that I was in a bad mood, so he advised me:
"I said Chujiu, don't take this matter to heart. If you don't like it, we'll finish it if we don't cooperate with him."
I sighed and said:
"Jiang Chao, I always feel that the fake monk is not simple. There is always a strange look in the eyes he just looked at us, and even gave me an inexplicable sense of fear..."
After hearing this, Jiang Chao thought for a while and said:
"When you say this, it's really like this. The fake monk's eyes were really scary. Do you think there would be any danger for Member Guo to know such a person?"
"Anyway, I have told her everything I should say. As for what to do next, it is all her own choice."
...
In the afternoon, Jiang Chao and I returned to Gugu County, got off at the intersection of the county town and walked towards the coffin shop together.
Because Lao Li has not received much work recently, Jiang Chao has been relatively free these days.
When we returned to the coffin shop, we accidentally found that Mr. Qin was not there, but the people in the coffin shop were open.
I searched around the inner room and the yard but couldn't find Mr. Qin. I took out my cell phone and called him but couldn't get through.
This abnormality made me feel something was wrong. According to common sense, Mr. Qin was extremely cautious in doing things. If he was in the store himself, even if he came back soon after going out, he would lock the store door first and then go out. What happened this afternoon? Mr. Qin disappeared from the big entrance of the store.
So Jiang Chao and I went to the shop near the coffin shop to ask. Mr. Wang, who was selling sesame cakes in isolation, told me that Mr. Qin came to his store to buy two sesame cakes at noon today, but he didn't see anyone else in the afternoon.
After asking Jiang Chao, I got a result: before lunch, someone saw Mr. Qin nearby, but the person disappeared in the afternoon.
If we infer this, Mr. Qin should have just left the coffin shop not long ago.
Where has he gone? Why not lock the door?
Even an ominous premonition began to emerge in my heart? Perhaps Mr. Qin's "disappearance" has something to do with the Shangguan family!
Jiang Chao and I returned to the coffin shop again, but Mr. Qin appeared in the coffin shop.
"Old Qin, where did you go just now?" After I saw Old Qin come back, my heart was overwhelmed.
Mr. Qin looked at me and said:
Chapter completed!
