Clove called Ma Shan and excitedly chattered on the phone about her encounter with Li Muchen. After hanging up the phone, she happily told Li Muchen:
"Brother Muchen, Brother Ma Shan said that your job is wrapped up in him."
"Oh." Li Muchen nodded indifferently, he just didn't want to brush off Clove's enthusiasm. Clove just kept staring at Li Muchen.
Li Muchen said, "What are you looking at, do I have flowers on my face?"
Clove snorted a smile, "Brother Mu Chuan, it's not good for you to go to work looking like this, like a Taoist priest, I'll take you to get a haircut."
Without saying a word, he pulled Li Muchen to the barber store, and let Mr. Tony primp, and cut Li Muchen's long hair that he had raised for more than ten years into a spiritual short hair.
Clove also dragged him to the mall to buy some clothes.
After changing his clothes and hairstyle, Li Muchen instantly changed from a poor Taoist priest in the mountain village to a spiritual young man in the city. When Ding Xiang saw the refreshed Li Muchen, her pretty face slightly reddened and she softly praised, "Brother Muchen is so handsome!" Suddenly, she locked her brows with sadness and sighed regretfully.
Li Muchen wondered, "What's wrong?"
Clove said, "It's a pity that the material of this outfit is so poor that it doesn't match with Brother Mu Dust. Alas, it's all my fault for earning too little money."
Li Muchen laughed, gently pinched Ding Xiang's face, just like when he was a child, and said, "Silly girl, you are still a student now, the task is to study well, think about what money making matters. Don't worry, the matter of making money, leave it to brother."
"Uh-huh." Clove nodded her head vigorously.
For some reason, she had an inexplicable trust in this brother Muchen who she hadn't seen for more than ten years and suddenly appeared today. Then, Li Muchen was dragged by Ding Xiang for an afternoon of shopping.
Ding Xiang leaped and chattered all the way, introducing him to the changes in Wo City over the past ten years.
"Brother Mu Chuan look there, that's the former garbage dump, we often come to pick up garbage, now it's turned into a CBD." Clove pointed to the cluster of tall buildings in front of her and said.
"That shopping mall over there, that's the former paper mill, brother Mu Chen do you still remember, once when I was little I was bullied in the alley behind the mill, you and brother Ma Shan helped me fight. The two of you beat up four or five of them, it was so awesome!"
Of course Li Muchen remembered, but the main person who fought that time was Ma Shan, he was also still young at that time, and Ma Shan was two years older than him and bigger. He remembered that Ma Shan was beaten black and blue, but he just didn't let a step go and forced that group of wild children back.
Thinking of this, Li Muchen couldn't help but reveal a smile, his heart indescribably joyful.
"Clove, you have a good memory. You were only four years old at that time, right, and you even remember these things. No wonder you were able to get into such a good university."
Li Muchen already knew that Ding Xiang had gotten into the best school in Nanjiang Province, Nanjiang University.
"I don't know why, but I remember all the things I did with you guys." Ding Xiang said happily. Strolling all the way to the evening, before going to the bar, Ding Xiang took him to the complex for another big meal.
Li Muchen's heart aches for the money Clove earned from her part-time job, but Clove insisted on going, saying that when brother Muchen came, he was willing to spend all his money.
Li Muchen had to follow her, and secretly swore in his heart that he would protect this girl well in the future, and would dry times ten thousand times to repay her, so that she would be happy for the rest of her life.
------
The entrance of the Blue Bridge Bar was full of luxury cars, and the flashing neon rainbow had a kind of psychedelic color in the city's night curtain. When he passed by those luxury cars, Li Muchen had no waves in his heart because he didn't recognize any of them. He saw Ma Shan from a distance, standing in front of the bar in a straight suit, waving at them.
Other than being tall, Ma Shan's appearance had not changed much, so Li Muchen recognized him at once. "Brother Ma Shan." Li Muchen took the initiative to greet him.
Ma Shan stretched out his hands and put them on Li Muchen's shoulders, looking up and down, "Good boy, grown up, taller, and quite handsome! Where have you been for so many years?"
"Worshiped a teacher, learning the art in the mountains." Li Muchen said.
Ma Shan didn't ask him what art he was learning, patted his chest and said, "If you come, you won't leave, don't worry, from now on, brother will cover you. If I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry."
Li Muchen smiled, "Thank you Brother Ma Shan."
"What are you polite for, we are brothers, go, I'll take you inside for a turn."
Ma Shan brought Li Muchen and Ding Xiang into the bar, while walking, he introduced Li Muchen to the bar. Along the way, quite a few people greeted Ma Shan, there were bar staff as well as guests.
It was obvious that Ma Shan was indeed doing well here, and Ma Shan looked particularly happy. However, Li Muchen knew very well that behind Ma Shan's glamor, it was never that simple.
From the moment they met, he noticed that Ma Shan's face had a slight subcutaneous blood bruise, and the meridian chi on his body was slightly sluggish.
From the looks of it, Ma Shan was by no means just working as a floor manager here, and was most likely a venue watcher. "Brother Ma Shan, you promised to arrange a job for Brother Mu Duan." Clove reminded.
"I know, when have I ever gone back on what I promised Ma Shan?" Ma Shan said, "You should at least let Mu Duan familiarize himself with the environment first."
Clove then smiled cheekily.
At this time, he heard someone calling behind him, "Ma Shan!"
Li Muchen turned around to see a bald, tattooed man come in from outside and go straight to Ma Shan.
Ma Shan.A bald tattooed man came down from upstairs as the three of them went upstairs.
Ma Shan smiled and greeted him, "Yo, Brother Panther, when did you come, why don't you say hello in advance? Brother I can arrange for you."
The bald head took his shoulder and said, "You arrange a big private room for me, the best wine, the best chicks, all of them. I'm going to pick up Boss Liu now, I'll be here in a while."
"Come on, I'll take care of it." Ma Shan said.
The bald guy was about to leave, when he suddenly saw Ding Xiang beside Ma Shan and said, "This chick is good, new? Quite pure, Boss Liu is good at this, send it to me in a while."
Ma Shan said with difficulty, "Brother Panther, this is my sister, to play, not the princess here."
"Sister? What kind of serious sister do you kid have." The bald man smiled evilly, "Alright it's a deal." Ma Shan said, "Brother Panther, this really can't be."
"Surname Ma, don't give your face to me, don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are Sister Na's person. I'll say it again, send this chick to the box for me."
The bald man glared at Ma Shan, put down his harsh words and went out.
Ma Shan forced down the anger in his heart, looked at the bald man's back and snorted coldly. Clove was clearly in shock and her face turned a little white.
Li Muchen said, "Why don't we go."
Ma Shan thought that Li Muchen was scared and said, "It's fine, this is Sister Na's venue, they won't dare to mess around. If you really want to make trouble, I Ma Shan is not a vegetarian, since childhood, not to mention other things, fight, we are afraid of who!"
Li Muchen could feel Ma Shan's inner unwillingness when he gave the bald man a smile.
He recalled that when he was a child, Ma Shan had said more than once that he would be the boss in the future, the kind of person no one dares to bully. Ma Shan wanted to save face and didn't let Li Muchen and Ding Xiang go, taking them upstairs for a turn.
Originally, according to Ma Shan's intention, open a small box for them to sing and relax. But Li Muchen always felt that that bald man would never let it go.
Because Clove is really too dazzling, in a place like a bar with this kind of pandemonium, it's hard to see a girl as pure as Clove.
He was not afraid, but he did not want Clove's pure heart to be hurt and polluted.
Ma Shan actually just loves face, he also does not want Ding Xiang to run into that bastard Panther again, so he agrees that Li Muchen take Ding Xiang to leave first.
They had just gone downstairs when they suddenly heard someone shout
"Clove!"
Facing them, two men and three women, five young people walked into the bar.
When Clove saw one of the girls, she was surprised
"Ya, Yao Lili, how come it's you?"
Yao Lili smiled and walked over, "Ding Xiang, I didn't expect you to come here to play, didn't you get into Nanjiang University, come, I'll introduce you to a schoolmate."
"Really?" Ding Xiang was surprised and happy.
Yao Lili pulled her over and pointed to another girl, "This is the Lin family's eldest miss, Lin Manqing." Li Muchen instantly froze when she heard this name.
Lin Manqing, was there such a coincidence?
He remembered that the woman's name written on the marriage contract left behind by his grandfather seemed to be called Lin Manqing. Lin family's eldest young lady, Lin Manqing ......
With the marriage contract still in effect, it meant that she was his own fiancée
